This book presents both the fundamentals and the major research topics in statistical physics of systems out of equilibrium. It summarizes different approaches to describe such systems on the thermodynamic and stochastic levels, and discusses a variety of areas including reactions, anomalous kinetics, and the behavior of self-propelling particles.

Dr Robert Gasser is currently Bursar of Brasenose College, Oxford. Formerly he was a University Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at Oxford. His first research was in the early days of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Subsequently he has worked on the application of ultra-high vacuum techniques to the study of the adsorption of gases by clean metal surfaces and the catalytic properties of these materials. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Yale University, Simon Fraser University, BC, and a Senior Research Associate at NASA Ames Research Center, California. This book arises from a course of lectures he gave to Oxford undergraduates.
Dr Graham Richards is a Reader in Computational Chemistry at the University of Oxford. He was the scientific founder of Oxford Molecular Group PLC, a publicly quoted company which specializes in computer software for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. He is the executive technical director and a member of their Drug Design Services Division.
He is the author of over 250 scientific papers and more than a dozen books. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of California Berkeley and Stanford University. Among his research consultancies are British Biotech, Hoechst Roussel and SmithKline Beecham.
His current research is in the applications of theoretical chemistry to problems in molecular biophysics and drug design.
"... present a lucid explanation of the macroscopic properties of thermodynamics and their relationship to the microscopic behavior of particles ... This compact book is an excellent supplementary resource."
