The second volume covers diverse topics, including strong coupling expansions and their analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, two-dimensional conformal field theory, and simple disordered systems. The book concludes with a chapter on random geometry and the Polyakov model of random surfaces, which illustrates the relations between string theory and statistical physics.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Considérant la qualité du matériel et de la présentation, je trouve le prix excellent et je ne peux que recommander l'achat de ces deux bouquins." Physics in Canada
"I strongly recommend these two volumes to anyone from intermediate graduate students to active experienced researchers to aging veterans who need to be reminded of or learn for the first time the broad conceptual framework underlying the many current applications of field theoretic methods." Paul Ginsparg, Foundations of Physics
"...a useful addition to a personal or an institutional library at a modest cost." C. A. Hurst, Mathematical Reviews

First Sentence:
This chapter is devoted to technicalities related to various expansions already encountered in volume 1, mostly those that derive from the original lattice formulation of the models, be it high or low temperature, strong coupling expansions and to some extent those arising in the guise of Feynman diagrams in the continuous framework.
