  abstract: This graduate textbook covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. With one of the main propositions being to avoid terms such as ""obviously"" and ""it is easy to show"", this treatise is an easy-to-read introduction into this traditional, yet vibrant field.
