Description: This book gives the first detailed and coherent treatment of a young and exciting branch of statistical physics. The author presents a new common theoretical framework describing both linear and nonlinear nonequilibrium thermodynamics. This first of two volumes is concerned largely with the derivation and applications of various types of fluctuation-dissipation theorems. Both theoretical physicists and applied scientists will find this material of interest since the theoretical treatment is supported by numerous illustrative examples and application of the general result to a variety of electrical, thermal, mechanical and chemical systems.
