Multiscale Thermo-Dynamics: Introduction to GENERIC

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a science that provides a constructive way of formulating evolution equations of processes that are consistent with fundamental laws of Nature. This monograph discusses different kinds of such theories & their consistent and rigorous unification in multilevel formulations. A wide range of examples with an emphasis on the theory of mixtures helps in applying the theory in various fields (e.g. in physics, biology).
