From the reviews of the second edition
„This excellent book presents the actual state of ideas on thermo-dynamics, and the new concept of Extended Irreversible Thermo-dynamics (EIT) ... Each chapter is self-consistent and ends with specific exercises and references.“
(V. Pletser in: Physicalia)

From the reviews of the third edition:

„This is an excellent monograph presenting comprehensively the state-of-art in one of the fast developing branches of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The name of the theory emphasizes the main idea exploiting in the description on non-equilibrium states, namely, the extension of classical thermodynamic state space by means of additional independent variables, such as heat flux, entropy flux, and so on. … Three parts of the book include the general theory, microscopic foundation, and selected applications. … recommended for using in advanced courses for graduate students.“ (Arkadi Berezovski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 974, 2001)
