This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Liquids and Crystals" that was published in Entropy (MDPI). The articles collected in the book deal with some topical trends in the statistical physics of condensed-matter systems. Such contributions provide an indication of the variety of problems that can arise in the study of strongly correlated particles, giving at the same time a representative account of the methods employed in this widespread field of research.
