The provided text is a table of contents and prefaces for the book "Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics," edited by K. Binder. The book, in its second edition, covers a wide range of topics in statistical physics, including classical and quantum systems, phase transitions, and the simulation of various materials. The prefaces highlight the significant advancements in Monte Carlo methods over the seven years since the first edition, including the development of specialized computers and new analysis techniques. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on specific aspects of Monte Carlo simulations, such as the theory and practical implementation, applications in classical fluids, phase diagrams of mixtures and magnetic systems, quantum many-body problems, small systems, relaxation phenomena, crystal growth, disordered systems, and surface physics. The content is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the field, making it accessible to scientists and students in theoretical physics, physical chemistry, condensed-matter physics, and related fields.The provided text is a table of contents and prefaces for the book "Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics," edited by K.
