Lavenda\u003c\/strong\u003e explores the statistical underpinnings of \u003cstrong\u003enonequilibrium thermodynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e through the lens of \u003cstrong\u003eBrownian motion\u003c\/strong\u003e. The author builds upon the mathematical theory of Brownian motion, demonstrating how thermodynamic criteria naturally emerge under conditions of small thermal fluctuations and in the \u003cstrong\u003eGaussian limit\u003c\/strong\u003e, where means and modes of a distribution coincide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavenda presents \u003cstrong\u003eBrownian motion\u003c\/strong\u003e as a versatile and practical model to analyze \u003cstrong\u003eirreversible processes\u003c\/strong\u003e that are influenced by random \u003cstrong\u003ethermal fluctuations\u003c\/strong\u003e.
