Concepts, methods and techniques of statiscal physics in the study of correlated, as well as uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences, biology and economics in an attempt to understand and model the large variability and risks of phenomena. This is the first textbook written by a well-known expert that provides a modern up-to-date introduction for workers outside statistical physics as well as within statistical physics. The emphasis of the book is on a clear understanding of concepts and methods, while it also provides the tools that can be of immediate use in applications. This book evolved out of a course for graduate students and it will be of great interest both for teaching as well as to researchers and engineers, and post-docs in geophysics, meteorology and other fields.
