* ABSTRACT
The thermal equilibrium of an open system strongly interacting with its environment can be properly described by a Hamiltonian of mean force. With the bare system Hamiltonian replaced by this Hamiltonian of mean force consistent statistical mechanical and thermodynamic descriptions are achieved. In this framework all laws of thermodynamics are satisfied but surprising system properties may show up such as regions of negative specific heat or of negative entropy.
