Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906): Zum hundertsten Todestag

Abstract

This little book is a family homage to Ludwig Boltzmann put together by his granddaughter, Ilse-Maria Fasol-Boltzmann, the daughter of Boltzmann's second son, Arthur Ludwig. Much of its charm and historical interest derives from the intimate knowledge of Boltzmann and his family life which is conveyed in Fasol-Boltzmann's own contributions. Equally important for the volume is the fact that Fasol-Boltzmann owned a major part of Boltzmann's literary estate, which, as she relates in the preface, she has now passed on to her son, Gerhard Ludwig Fasol, who is a co-editor of the volume.
