Summary: thumbs up
Comment: This is a thorough book on irreversible thermodynamics.

It is at the level of advanced text suitable for researchers.

It goes beyond the classical irreversible theory
of Onzager and others, by introducing closed equations
for higher order fluxes. The equations are more complicated
than the ones assuming local equilibrium but the complexity
is necessary in order to capture the essential physics.

It has an introduction to local equilibrium assumptions, as well as, to the rational extented thermodynamics methods.

There are easy going chapters on kinetic theory foundations
(even relativistic one).

The more general framework of generalized hydrodynamics
has its own chapter.

There are special chapters on applications of the abstract
theory as for example polymer fluids

The book is clear and will help even students (although at a graduate level). The mathematical depth is accesible throughout the text.

Overall the book makes a very nice study.
