   But the work for which Tolman is best known involves the application of thermodynamics to relativistic systems.

   In his monograph “Relativity, Thermodynamics, and Cosmology,” Tolman reviews relativity, develops an extension of thermodynamics to special and general relativity, and then applies it to cosmological models.

   A Dover edition of the book lists for $19.95 but can often be found for less. I learned about Tolman when I spotted this book at the UT-Austin bookstore, back in grad school.
