Looking for best reference in statistical physics

AI Thread Summary
For a comprehensive reference in statistical physics, Landau and Lifshitz's Volume V is recommended as a solid starting point. Another excellent choice is "Introductory Statistical Mechanics" (2nd edition) by Roger Bowley and Mariana Sanchez, published by Oxford Science Publications. This book is noted for its clear explanations of statistical physics concepts, accessible language, and inclusion of solutions for nearly all exercises, making it both enjoyable and practical for readers.

That's hard to answer since there are many good textbooks on stat. phys. around. My favorite to begin with is Landau/Lifshits Vol. V.
 
Try finding "Introductory Statistical Mechanics (2nd edition) by Roger Bowley and Mariana Sanchez, Oxford Science Publication". It explains statistical physics concepts clearly and the language is not as technical as many physics books found in the market. Very enjoyable to read and almost every exercise has solution at the back pages of the book.
