Maximum Dissipation Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure explores the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes in materials. The book develops a general technique to construct nonlinear evolution equations describing non-equilibrium processes, while also developing a geometr...
