Rational extended thermodynamics

This is a thoroughly revised new edition of the Extended Thermodynamics volume published in 1993. The book takes a more systematic treatment with updates and extensions throughout. Particularly it includes further experimental evidence in addition to two new chapters on Radition thermodynamics and Thermodynamics of phonons.
