From the reviews: "Any physicist or chemist with general interest in transport phenomena but without any idea about nonisothermal transport should start reading this book ... . The present book is a carefully edited collection of conference papers which have been presented in 2000 in Bayreuth ... . it summarizes the present state of research and knowledge in a field which will offer an up-to-date-survey of both theoretical and experimental studies to interested readers with a solid background in either thermodynamics, statistical and fluid mechanics or transport theory." (J. Janek, Zeitschrift fur physikalische Chemie, Vol. 217 (761-762), 2003)
