N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 250-254) and index; Basic concepts -- Distribution functions -- The Lorentz model for the classical transport of charges -- The Boltzmann equation for dilute gases -- Brownian motion -- Plasmas and self-gravitating systems -- Quantum gases -- Quantum electronic transport in solids -- Semiconductors and interband transitions -- Numerical and semianalytical methods
N2  - This title presents the fundamentals of kinetic theory, considering classical paradigmatic examples as well as modern applications. It covers the most important systems where kinetic theory is applied, explaining their major features. The text is balanced between exploring the fundamental concepts of kinetic theory (irreversibility, transport processes, separation of time scales, conservations, coarse graining, distribution functions, etc.) and the results and predictions of the theory, where the relevant properties of different systems are computed
