Title: classic yes but pretty much useless
Review: Dont listen to people who tell you this is a classic text. Yes this is classic because everyone says so but no one has really learnt anything new from it.If your intention is to understand thermodynamics and stat mechanics, this is the wrong book. If you are already a master of the subject, then Landau will converse with you. Otherwise he talks to himself!In other words this is bed time reading for the expert (everything in it is right), but is completely useless as learning material.Of course if you are like everyone who thinks this is a "must have" (and cannot read) for every physicist, just buy it and put it in the shelf. It looks nice.
