Are there recommended textbook or good intro-reference to explain with complete stretch of [Kossakowski–Lindblad equation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindblad_equation) especially how is the idea to derive it from ground?

$$\dot\rho=-{i\over\hbar}[H,\rho]+\sum_{n,m = 1}^{N^2-1} h_{n,m}\big(L_n\rho L_m^\dagger-\frac{1}{2}\left(\rho L_m^\dagger L_n + L_m^\dagger L_n\rho\right)\big).$$
