The revision has, however, been incomplete to the extent that the book does not include topics related to the successful application in recent years of the methods of quantum field theory to statistical physics. The reason for this is that we have always attempted to construct the Course of Theoretical Physics as describing a single science, interlinking the discussion of its various branches in the different volumes. According to the general plan of the Course, this volume should have followed the one on quantum field theory, and the discussion of the above-mentioned methods in this book should have been based on the development of them in the previous volume. Since the latter has not yet been completed, it was not possible to include these methods in the present edition. To my profound regret, L. D. Landau, my teacher and friend, has been pre~ vented by injuries received in a road accident from personally contributing to the preparation of this new edition. April 1966 EM. Lirsuirz: The publishers learnt with deep regret of the death of Professor L. D. Landau in April 1968 while this volume was in press. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST ENGLISH EDITION ‘Tu present volume of the Theoretical Physics seties is devoted to an exposi- tion of statistical physics and thermodynamics. These two subjects are firmly interconnected, and in our opinion it is rational to present them together as one whole, ‘Asin the other volumes, we have endeavoured, on the one hand, tostate the general principles as clearly as possible, and, on the other hand, to present their many specific applications as fully as possible. However, the present book does not contain the theory of electric and magnetic properties of mat- ter, which are treated in another volume which is dealing with the electrody- namics of material media. Similarly, problems of non-equilibrium phenomena are not treated; we propose to consider these in a separate volume. ‘We have not included in this book the various theories of ordinary liquids and of strong solutions, which to us appear neither convincing nor useful. We do not share the view, which one encounters sometimes, that statistical physics is the least well-founded branch of theoretical physics (as regards its basic principles), We believe that the difficulties are created artificially, because the problems are often not stated sufficiently rationally. If one talks from the very beginning about the statistical distribution for small parts of a system (Subsystems) and not for a closed system as a whole, then one avoids the whole question of the ergodic or similar hypotheses, which are not really essential for physical statistics.
