Gibbs Measures and Phase Transitions

From a review of the first edition: "This book [] covers in depth a broad range of topics in the mathematical theory of phase transition in statistical mechanics. [] It is in fact one of the author's stated aims that this comprehensive monograph should serve both as an introductory text and as a reference for the expert." (F. Papangelou, Zentralblatt MATH) The second edition has been extended by a new section on large deviations and some comments on the more recent developments in the area.
