The author relies on his \(H\)-measures, a tool created for homogenization, to explain some of the weaknesses of the Boltzmann kinetic theory, e.g. from quantum mechanics: there are no ``particles'', so the Boltzmann equation and the second principle, cannot apply. He examines modes used by energy, proves which equation governs each mode, and conjectures that the result will not look like the Boltzmann equation, and there will be more modes than those indexed by velocity. The book contains a lot of historical comments and biographical data.
