Other Books for Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for books on Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics include Radu Balescu's "Statistical Dynamics: Matter out of Equilibrium," which covers foundational to advanced concepts. Brenner and Edwards' "Macrotransport Processes" is also highlighted for its comprehensive approach. For classical transport theory, Landau and Lifshitz's volume X is considered essential, while Cercignani's work is noted as a significant resource for relativistic cases. Additionally, two influential papers by P. Danielewicz, detailing quantum theory applications in nonequilibrium processes, are suggested for deeper insights into the subject.

Can anyone refer to some good book on Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics?

The book should contain the basics, and can go up to any advanced level.

Any level of math is acceptable.

Radu Balescu's "Statistical Dynamics: Matter out of Equilibrium" is good, as is Brenner and Edwards "Macrotransport Processes"

Also very good is Landau&Lifshitz vol. X for classical transport theory (non-relativistic). For the relativistic case the book by Cercignani is a masterpiece.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
