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.
