Find it here on Amazon. It's actually a pretty good textbook and worth reading even if you're mostly a software developer.

I am almost entirely convinced this came from my old university tutor's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Statistical-Mechanics-Transitions-Science-Publications/dp/0198517300

The critical exponent (beta) describes the scaling behaviour of a macroscopic property of a collection of particles (in this case, the temperature, I think) near a phase transition.

The amazing thing is, that exponent is often exactly the same number for totally different phenomena (temperature vs magnetism near a phase transition) purely because the potentials are really similar. It's the sort of thing you might cover in third/fourth year of undergrad in Physics.
