The problem of deriving irreversible thermodynamics from the re
versible microscopic dynamics has been on the agenda of theoreti
cal physics for a century and has produced more papers than can be
digested by any single scientist. Why add to this too long list
with yet another work? The goal is definitely not to give a gen
eral review of previous work in this field. My ambition is rather
to present an approach differing in some key aspects from the stan
dard treatments, and to develop it as far as possible using rather
simple mathematical tools (mainly inequalities of various kinds).
However, in the course of this work I have used a large number of
results and ideas from the existing literature, and the reference
list contains contributions from many different lines of research.
As a consequence the reader may find the arguments a bit difficult
to follow without some previous exposure to this set of problems."
