Synopsis

The 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.

Revue de presse

The full story of the life and times of van der Waals is chronicled in this book in meticulous detail Indeed, it is so full of information that probably only historians of science will want to read it from cover to cover. For the rest of us, this book is a valuable addition to the literature. (Chemistry in Britain, June, 1997)

It will be a useful reference for the specialist in molecular physics because of its somewhat unconventional Dutch and Russian frame of reference (Nature)

I must admit to being much impressed. Both the life and the work of van der Waals are dealt with in an exemplary way: the authors' command of primary and secondary sources is impressive, as is their understanding of the Dutch social and educational circumstances in the last century. This is one of those rare books that are hard to lay down once one has started. (A J Knox, European Journal of physics, Vol. 18, Issue 5)
