Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena is a 20-volume series of books, comprising review articles on phase transitions and critical phenomena, published during 1972-2001. It is "considered the most authoritative series on the topic".

Volumes 1-6 were edited by Cyril Domb and Melville S. Green, and after Green's death, volumes 7-20 were edited by Domb and Joel Lebowitz.

Volume 4 was never published. Volume 5 was published in two volumes, as 5A and 5B.

The first volume was praised for its coherent approach. While praised for its sound theoretical approach, the first volume remained at considerable distance from being able to explain experimental results in things like structural phase transitions.

The second volume was praised for being well written, and was suggested as a standard reference. The third volume was also suggested as an index for researchers.
