In these proceedings, it is shown that thermodynamical concepts are not �old fashioned� but still are most useful at the frontiers of modern science.Among the contributors are well-known experts such as Andresen (Copenhagen), Eu (Montreal), Gro?mann (Marburg), Kawasaki (Fuhuoha), Maugin (Paris), Nicolis (Bruxelles) and Sz�pfalusy (Budapest). The subject covers a wide field including: recent developments in phenomenological thermodynamics, statistical foundation of thermodynamical concepts, thermodynamical concepts in nonlinear dynamics, applications to nonlinear (neural) networks, stochastic theory and transition processes.Statistical Physics And Thermodynamics Of Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Systems is written by Muschik Wolfgang and published by World Scientific. ISBNs for Statistical Physics And Thermodynamics Of Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Systems are 9789814503648, 9814503649 and the print ISBNs are 9789810211349, 9810211341.
