Abstract: This work introduces research workers in biophysics, physical chemistry, physiology, and biochemistry to the new thermodynamic method for interpretation and correlation of the phenomena encountered in their studies. For the sake of completeness, the first part of the book is devoted to classical thermodynamics, formulated in a way useful in the further development of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The major part of the book is devoted to processes of biophysical and physicochemical interest such as diffusion and thermodiffusion, transport phenomena in electrolytes, thermoelectricity and thermo osmosis; electrokinetics of coloidal systems; passive transport of non-electrolytes and electrolytes through simple and composite membranes and models of active transport in living tissues. An effort has also been made to develop ideas regarding the physical interpretation of phenomenological coefficients and to make more tangible the experimental significance of the thermodynamic correlations. The book concludes with a chapter on the principle of minimum production of entropy and more general discussion of the physical basis for the stability and evolution of living systems.

- Chapter 12: Electrochemical processes in discontinuous systems
- p 149: Solutions of different concentrations will be maintained in two compartments separated by a charged membrane. .. the membrane may also be considered as a transition layer of aqueous solution with variable concentrations, merging on one side with the solution of the left-hand compartment and on the other side with that of the right-hand compartment. .. a pressure difference ฮP may be imposed across the membrane and volume flow may take place from one side to the other.
- Comment: It is not clear if barometric pressure or osmotic pressure is referred to. A generalized concept of isomorphic pressure is lacking.
