Yes, but there is also the wide field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
One of my favourite refs is

L C Woods, The Thermodynamics of Fluid Systems (Clarendon Press, Oxford,
1975), especially Part II on process thermodynamics.  Lots of
fundamentals on stuff like the Onsager relations and all the asusmptions
they depend on, etc.

Thanks for the tip. I have Rolf Haase, "Thermodynamics of Irreversble Processes" (it's ok, I guess), and I just ordered a bunch of biophysics type books.
