OverviewThe development of molecular physics and physical chemistry cannot be understood without a knowledge of the work of the Dutch physicist, Johannes Diderik van der Waals. His work is the foundation of much modern work on the theory of fluids. His doctoral thesis of 1873 was the first theory of liquids and gases in which the essential differences and similarities of these two phases were interpreted in terms of the properties of the constituent molecules. In the years since the end of the Second World War, there has been a re-appraisal of the importance of van der Waals's work, which has put van der Waals into his historic place as one of the founders of molecular science.

Table of ContentsReviewsA truly remarkable book. . . .a gold mine of information not just for readers interested in the life work of Van der Waals and its impact on molecular science, but also for those interested in the Second Golden Age of Dutch science in the period of 1850 to 1920. One cannot help but wonder why a pioneer like Van der Waals has failed to arouse the interest of Dutch historians of science. One cannot help but rejoice that two Russian and one British scientist have capture the greatness of this unglamorous, stubborn, private Dutch toiler. --Journal of Statistical Physics<br> Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
