Brand new, unread copy in fine condition. A rare English-language biography and intellectual portrait of Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906), one of the towering figures of 19th-century physics. Written by Austrian biophysicist Engelbert Broda, this book covers Boltzmann's scientific achievements — his foundational work in statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and atomic theory — alongside his philosophy of science, his debates with Ernst Mach and Wilhelm Ostwald, and his personal life and tragic death. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of physics, the origins of modern thermodynamics, or the intellectual climate of fin-de-siècle Vienna. Translated from the original German Ludwig Boltzmann: Mensch, Physiker, Philosoph with revisions by the author. A scarce title in any condition; new copies are extremely hard to find. Condition: New/Fine. No marks, no wear.
