This is a very good reference book, summarizing the work that the authors have done. Nonequilibrium quantum field theory is something new to many physicists, and this book provides a very clear explanation about the basic formalisms, physics, and its application in condensed matter physics, high ene

โฆ Synopsis
Green's function techniques for studying nonequilibrium quantum processes are discussed. Perturbation expansions and Green's function equations of motion are developed for noncorrelated and correlated initial states of a system. A transition, from the Kadanoff-Baym Green's function equations of motion to the Boltzmann equation, and specifications of the respective limit, are examined in detail.
