Conventional ideas of linear response theory and kinetic theory are treated in detail. The general emphasis, however, in on the development of generalized Langevin equations for treating nonlinear behaviour in a wide variety of systems. A full treatment is given for the underpinnings of hydrodynamics for fluids.This is the third volume of a four volume set of texts by the same author, two of which have already been published (""Fluctuations, Order, and Defects"" 0-471-32840-5, ""Nonequilibrium statistical mechanicsStatistical mechanicsNonequilibrium statistical mechanics.Statistical mechanics.530.13421.4njb/09530.13njb/09MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144724703321Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics4215111UNINA
