From the reviews:"The second volume covers statistical mechanics and related topics. It contains 22 papers divided into four groups ... . The reader will find a wealth of information and ideas that can still ignite inspiration and motivate students as well as senior researchers. The reader will also have a touch of Sinai's personality, his taste, enthusiasm, and optimism, which are just as invaluable as his mathematical results."
