Entropy Beyond the Second Law - Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics for equilibrium, non-equilibrium, classical, and quantum systems

This book presents a coherent formulation of all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with entropy as the unifying theme. By consolidating these approaches into a coherent and self-contained framework, it is intended to improve the understanding of this fundamental and fascinating area of physics.
