Riassunto

Introduction to applications and techniques in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of chaotic dynamics.

Recensione

'This book is a convincing invitation to modern mathematical concepts and new techniques. It will prove useful and attractive to graduate students and teachers in this active field.' Yves Elskens, Mathematical Reviews

'I recommend it highly ... this book successfully gives its audience a unique and accessible up-to-date exposition of the mathematical foundation of Boltzmann's statistical mechanics based on the modern ergotic theory of chaotic dynamical systems. This book will be valuable to applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists alike.' Hong Qian, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology

'It gives a good introduction to modern research in transport theory which relates macroscopic properties of large systems to underlying microscopic dynamics. The book does not pretend to be mathematically rigorous but presents an extremely readable account of the conceptual foundations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. To summarize, this is a very well written and readable book by one of the experts in the field. Its emphasis on conceptual developments, illustrated by simple dynamical models provides interesting reading not just for specialists, but also for a more general physical audience seeking a better understanding of the current status of the conceptual foundations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.' Rudi Podgornik, Journal of Statistical Physics

Rudi Podgornik, Journal of Statistical Physics

'The book presents a beautiful and detailed introduction to the major ideas behind modern developments in (classical) nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. ... a very valuable, enjoyable, and useful book to be highly recommended to any student or professional in the field of statistical mechanics at large.' SIAM Review
