Reviews

One of the most important contributions of this volume is the bibliography in Part IV ... This is a useful book and should be on the shelves of all kinetic theorists and statistical mechanics. Journal of Statistical Physics This book will be useful both for historical research and for students studying the history of physics. Notes and Records of the Royal Society It is valuable to have the work in print again, since some of the originals are not always easily accessible and all who have struggled, for example, with Boltzmann's German will welcome accurate translations ... The whole book is to be welcomed as an aid to those undertaking research or otherwise interested in exploring these fields. AMBIX
