Reviews

[Espen Hagen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is simply THE textbook on the subject. The reader must be prepared to do some derivations in order to grasp the subject, but this only underline the style of the book as concise, well written and elegant. A slightly more elaborate text, for those who'd like to see more derivations and examples, see either de Groot & Mazurs classical text, or Prigogine & Kondepudis more comprehensive text.
