Books for Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics

[Wrichik Basu]

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.

Not a book, but two great papers (afaik containig the result of the author's PhD work):

P. Danielewicz, Quantum Theory of Nonequilibrium Processes I, Ann. Phys., 152 (1984), p. 239.

P. Danielewicz, Quantum Theory of Nonequilibrium Processes II. Application to Nuclear Collisions, Ann. Phys., 152 (1984), p. 305–326.

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.
