Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Mechanics by Rodney J. Baxter
This text explores the solution of two-dimensional lattice models. Topics include basic statistical mechanics, Ising models, the mean field model, the spherical model, ice-type models, corner transfer matrices, hard hexagonal models, and elliptic functions. The author has updated the 1989 version with a new chapter, "Subsequent Developments," for the 2007 edition. Reprint of the Academic Press, London, 1989 edition.
