N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; 1. Introduction -- 2. Introduction to time-reversible, thermostatted dynamical systems, and statistical mechanical ensembles -- 3. The Evans-Searles fluctuation theorem -- 4. The dissipation theorem -- 5. Equilibrium relaxation theorems -- 6. Nonequilibrium steady states -- 7. Applications of the fluctuation, dissipation, and relaxation theorems -- 8. Nonequilibrium work relations, the Clausius inequality, and equilibrium thermodynamics -- 9. Causality N2 - Both a comprehensive overview and a treatment at the appropriate level of detail, this textbook explains thermodynamics and generalizes the subject so it can be applied to small nano- or biosystems, arbitrarily far from or close to equilibrium. In addition, nonequilibrium free energy theorems are covered with a rigorous exposition of each one ER -
