Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes

This monograph develops a unified microscopic basis for phases and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems, based on classical physics. It describes the

The book provides an introduction to the physics which underlies phase transitions and to the theoretical techniques currently at our disposal for understanding

Describing the physical properties of quantum materials near critical points with long-range many-body quantum entanglement, this book introduces readers to the

“The importance of knowledge consists not only in its direct practical utility but also in the fact the it promotes a widely contemplative habit of mind; on t
