The development of molecular physics and physical chemistry cannot
be understood without a knowledge of the work of Dutch physicist
Johannes Diderik van der Waals. 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. This view
contradicted the work of Mach, Ostwald, Duhem and other
"energeticists" and provides the foundation for our current
understanding of fluids. In the years since the end of World War
II, there has been a re-appraisal of van der Waals's work, which
has established his historic place as one of the founders of
molecular science. This is the only biography of Johannes van der
Waals and should be read by anyone with an interest in the history
of physics and chemistry, and its most important innovator.
