Hardbound. Condition: Good. Description: Figure illustrations. ''The emphasis is on the physical aspects of statistical mechanics without employing advanced mathematical methods However, when feasible, rigorous methods are employed. The book is intended for senior or graduate students of physics and engineering with the usual mathematical background. A course in classical thermodynamics is a useful prerequisite. Particular emphasis has bee placed on a correct statement of the theory of Gibbsian ensembles couched in quantum mechanical terms The kinetic theory is used directly to derive Boltzmann's equation and the H-theorem.''

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. ix, 143 pp. Buckram (originally published in printed wrappers, which were discarded). Pages browned (typical for this post-WWII acidic paper). First Edition. SIGNED, PRESENTATION COPY FROM ILYA PRIGOGINE TO JOSEPH KESTIN (dated 1966, see photo). Ilya Prigogine was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 "for his contributions to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures." Among his many publications, the recipient of this copy Joseph Kestin was the author of A Course in Thermodynamics (2 vols., 1966-1968), A Course in Statistical Thermodynamics (with J. R. Dorfman, 1971), The Second Law of Thermodynamics (1976), and also the translator of Ernest Schmidt's Thermodynamics, Principles and Applications to Engineering (1949), Arnold Sommerfeld's Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics: Lectures on Theoretical Physics, Volume V (1964) and S. L. Rivkin et al.'s Thermodynamic Derivatives for Water and Steam (1978). Quoting from a biographical memoir of Kestin by Daniel Drucker: JOSEPH KESTIN, professor of engineering at Brown University . . . was founder and first director of the university's Center for Energy Studies. . . . Throughout his long and distinguished academic career, in which both experimental and theoretical research played so important a role, Professor Kestin was a superb teacher of undergraduate students. They, along with the host of other readers of his texts on thermodynamics, appreciated greatly his fundamental and challenging approach to the understanding as well as the use of thermodynamic principles. Born on September 18, 1913, in Warsaw, Poland, Professor Kestin received his Dipl. Ing. degree from the Technical University there in 1937 and then began graduate study at Kings College, London. Soon after his return to Warsaw for a visit in late summer 1939, he was sent to a Russian prisoner-of-war camp and was not released to serve with the Allies until 1941. He was then able to resume his graduate studies at Imperial College, London, and completed his doctoral thesis on "High Speed Flow of Gases Through Channels" under the direction of Sir Owen Saunders. Following World War II the Polish University College, as a transient arrangement to permit the many expatriate Poles to complete their education, became a unit of the University of London with Professor Kestin as the head of its Department of Mechanical Engineering. In 1952 he came to the United States to begin his long and fruitful association with Brown University. . . . Professor Kestin's publications number well over 250, including five books on thermodynamics. They include seminal contributions to the thermodynamics of inelastic solids as well as fluids. He also translated into English important texts by E. Schmidt, A. Sommerfeld, and H. Schlichting to bring their work into the mainstream of our thinking.". Signed by Author(s).
