Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanicsby T. Chou, K. Mallick, R. K. P. Zia - arXiv
We review some of the many recent activities on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, focusing on general aspects. Using the language of stochastic Markov processes, we emphasize general properties of the evolution of configurational probabilities.

Statistical Field Theoryby H.T.C. Stoof - Utrecht University
We give a self-contained introduction to the quantum field theory for many-particle systems, using functional methods throughout. We focus in general on the behavior of so-called quantum liquids, i.e., quantum gases and liquids.
