Abstract
Classical thermodynamics pays a special attention to the passive description of macroscopic heat phenomena of natural systems with the theoretical framework of the four thermodynamic laws. In contrast, theoretical thermotics, introduced in this book, allows one to achieve the active control of macroscopic heat phenomena of artificial systems with the theoretical framework of transformation thermotics and extended theories. As a result, thermal metamaterials can be theoretically designed at will, which have abundant application values. Thus, a hot field comes to appear.
