     ISBN:978-3642092695
     

     Intuitively comprehensible textbook for Keldysh green function and its application to transport in semiconductor.

  2. Quantum Field Theory of Non-equilibrium States

     ISBN:978-0521188005
     

     Introductory guide for details of calculation of Keldysh green function to weak localization.

• Statistical physics
  • Criticality and Critical phenomena
  1. Critical Phenomena in Natural Sciences: Chaos, Fractals, Selforganization and Disorder: Concepts and Tools (Springer Series in Synergetics)
     Author: Didier Sornette
     Publisher: Springer; 2nd ed. 2003.
     ISBN: 978-3540308829
     

     This book is not written for beginners and not proper as a textbook. This is because this book contains not well organized paragraphs and notations, as if patchwork of a lot of papers. As a review of works, this book is useful.

  2. Complexity and Criticality
     Author: Kim Christensen and Nicholas R. Moloney
     Publisher: Imperial College Press 2005.
     ISBN: 978-1860945175
     

• Pattern formation

1. Pattern Formation: An Introduction to Methods (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics)
   Author: Rebecca Hoyle
   Publisher: Cambridge University Press (2006/3/17)
   ISBN: 978-0521817509

   I think that this book contains an easy-to-follow introduction for applications of concepts of symmetry breaking to the pattern formation.

• Disordered system

1. Information, Physics and Computation
   Author: Marc Mezard, Andrea Montanari
   Publisher: Oxford University Press 2009
   ISBN: 978-0198570837

  • Review
  1. Biological Physics
     Author: Philip Nelson
     Publisher: W. H. Freeman 2007.
     ISBN:978-0716798972
     

     This book is a recommended one as a textbook for undergraduate students. The contents are self-contained and well organized for self-teaching.

• Protein and Biophysics

1. タンパク質の立体構造入門(in Japanase)
   Author: 藤 博幸
   Publisher: 講談社 2010.
   ISBN:978-4061538818
   

   非常によくまとまった入門書。
