This is the first of a two-volume textbook on the modern statistical theory of nonequilibrium processes. The general method of nonequilibrium ensembles is used to describe kinetic processes in classical and quantum systems. The presentation of a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena in many-particle systems is based on the unified approach, which is a natural extension of the method of Gibbs ensembles to the non-equilibrium case. Topical problems of the modern kinetic theory are examined, such as many-particle effects in classical kinetics, non-Markovian kinetic equations for plasmas, and quantum kinetic processes in the presence of strong external fields. Exercises and problems are included, and the text is suitable for both postgraduates and professionals.

This is the first part of a two-volume textbook on the modern statistical theory of nonequilibrium processes. In distinction to currently available textbooks and monographs on this subject, the presentation of a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena in many-particle systems is based on the unified approach which is a natural extension of the method of Gibbs ensembles to the nonequilibrium case. The general method of nonequilibrium ensembles is applied to describe kinetic processes in classical and quantum systems. In addition to standard examples, topical problems of the modern kinetic theory are considered, including many-particle effects in classical kinetics, non-Markovian kinetic equations for plasmas, and quantum kinetic processes in the presence of strong external fields. Exercises and problems for readers are also included. The book is self-contained and accessible to students having read the standard course in statistical physics. It is also of interest for specialists working in solid state physics, chemical physics, and physics of plasma and fluids.
