It is introduced in a very interesting way, leading the reader to more and more general approaches. ... Step-by-step, the ideas for different generalizations are presented. ... Each chapter of the book ends with some problems intended for a better understanding of the presented topics. At the end of the book, the reader can find the solutions to these problems.

(Dominik Strzalka, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1231, 2012) This book addresses fundamental issues of thermostatistics from the point of view of statistics applied to physics. Many subtle aspects of the theory that are not usually emphasised in standard textbooks are discussed, and the reader can benefit from a deeper understanding of the subject. ... The book can be used in an advanced course for graduate students, and it is also useful for researchers in statistical physics, since it deals with many aspects of current developments. (Ernesto P.
