Entropy Beyond the Second Law presents a coherent formulation of all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with entropy as the unifying theme. This second edition includes the novel entropic treatment of Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and high temperature superconductivity. The new physical insights and the quantitative agreement with experimental measurement provide concrete examples of the universal approach based on entropy advocated in the book. Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are important subjects, and students, academics, and researchers require the fundamental concepts to be clearly and concisely presented, as part of a unified whole, and the mathematical derivations to be explained with detailed physical explanation and applications.

Key Features:

Updated and extended new edition, now includes Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and high temperature superconductivity Self-contained, comprehensive presentation of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics based on entropy. Stochastic, dissipative equations of motion for open systems are derived from the second entropy. Features first principles derivation of quantum statistical mechanics.

Phil Attard researches broadly in statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and colloid science. He has held academic positions in Australia, Europe, and North America, and he was a Professorial Research Fellow of the Australian Research Council. He has authored some 120 papers, 10 review articles, and 4 books, with over 7000 citations. As an internationally recognized researcher, he has made seminal contributions to the theory of electrolytes and the electric double layer, to measurement techniques for atomic force microscopy and colloid particle interactions, and to computer simulation and integral equation algorithms for condensed matter. Attard is perhaps best known for his discovery of nanobubbles and for establishing their nature. Recent research has focused on non-equilibrium systems and entropy as the basis for non-equilibrium thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and chemical kinetics.
