Far from Equilibrium Phase Transitions [E-Book] : Proceedings of the Xth Sitges Conference on Statistical Mechanics, Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, June 6–10, 1988 / edited by Luis Garrido.
This collection of lectures covers a wide range of present day research in thermodynamics and the theory of phase transitions far from equilibrium. The contributions are written in a pedagogical style and present an extensive bibliography to help graduates organize their further studies in this area...
