Abstract

This book is aimed at presenting the main ideas, methods and laws of the modern statistical theory of macroscopic open systems. Such systems may exchange both energy and matter with the environment. This makes possible the formation of different kinds of structures, the processes of self-organization.

If we close the door before fallacy, how will the truth come in?

Rabindra Nath Tagore
