<p>The Second Law of Thermodynamics, that entropy increases, is arguably the most fundamental law of nature. And yet for some, entropy itself is a mystery, the cause of confusion and misunderstanding. How can it be that something so fundamental and universal be so hard to grasp? How can it have happ
`Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics: Foundations and Applications' builds from basic principles to advanced techniques, and covers the major phenomena, methods, and results of time-dependent systems. It is a pedagogic introduction, a comprehensive reference manual, and an origi
This graduate-level book presents a self-contained exposition of fundamental topics in modern equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach between the macroscopic (thermodynamic) and microscopic (statistical) points of view. One notable feature is t
