The core of mosaic non-equilibrium thermodynamics is the theory of metabolic control, a basis for thermodynamics in (quantum) mechanics and statistics and an extension to far from equilibrium systems.
Abstract
Westerhoff H.V. and Van Dam K. (1987) Thermodynamics and control of biological free-energy transduction, Elsevier, Amsterdam ISBN: 0-444-80783-7 (U.S.) This monograph gives the basis of both non equilibrium thermodynamics and metabolic control analysis in biology. It is rife with examples from bioenergetics. It is also a compilation of mathematical equations and text and hence serves as a data file for mathematical biology and biological modelling
