The Theory of Interacting Systems: Volume 3 EQUILIBRIUM THEORY To be released: Summer 2002 The classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics of Volume 2 is extended in the equilibrium case into a study of equations of state, thermoelectricity, thermodynamic surfaces, the theory of phase changes, asymptotic thermodynamics, and computable thermodynamics. Read more about this volume   The Theory of Interacting Systems: Volume 4 QUANTUM THEORY To be released: Winter 2002 A version of quantum mechanics is presented that adheres closely to Bohr's views. A quantum mechanics of macroscopic particle systems is developed and the concepts of correspondence, correlation, action, interference, independence, and coherence, are studied along with the pardoxes of localization and the central role of duality. Read more about this volume   The Theory of Interacting Systems: Volume 5 QUANTUM THERMODYNAMICS To be released: Summer 2003 Both general and equilibrium quantum thermodynamics are developed using the quantum formalism provided in Volume 4. The history and conceptual foundation of the connection between thermodynamics and probability are examined in detail. The quantum versions of action and the virial are used to explore the relation of macroscopic experiments to the underlying particle mechanics. Read more about this volume   The Theory of Interacting Systems: Volume 6 RELATIVITY THEORY To be released: Summer 2004 The classical and quantum formalism of the Theory of Interacting Systems for nonequilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics is extended into the domains of special and general relativity. The close association between mechanics and thermodynamics at the foundation of the theory is exploited to resolve some long-standing disputes concerning the definitions and transformation properties of the elements of thermodynamics in the relativistic setting.
