This book provides an introduction to nonequilibrium statistical physics via lattice models. Beginning with an introduction to the basic driven lattice gas, the

This book describes two main classes of non-equilibrium phase-transitions: static and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state, and dynamical scaling in

A self-contained, mathematical introduction to the driving ideas in equilibrium statistical mechanics, studying important models in detail.

"Universal scaling behavior is an attractive feature in statistical physics because a wide range of models can be classified purely in terms of their collective

This volume collects several in-depth articles giving lucid discussions on new developments in statistical and condensed matter physics. Many, though not all, c
