This book is the translated and commented autobiography of Wilhelm
Ostwald (1853-1932), who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1909.
It is the first translation of the German original version
"Lebenslinien: Eine Selbstbiographie," published by Ostwald in
1926/27, and has been painstakingly translated. The book includes
comments and explanations, helping readers to understand Ostwald's
text in the historical context of Germany at the beginning of the
20th century.In his autobiography, Ostwald describes his impressive
research career and his life from his own personal view. Readers
will find information on how Ostwald immortalized himself through
his research on catalysis, chemical equilibria, technical
chemistry, and especially as one of the founders of modern physical
chemistry. His broad interests in science, ranging from philosophy
to the theory of colors and the idea of a universal scientific
language are further remarkable aspects covered.This work will
appeal to a broad audience of contemporary scientists: Wilhelm
Ostwald has been tremendously influential for the development of
chemistry and science, and many of today's best-known international
scientific schools can be traced back to Ostwald's students.
Ostwald was active in Germany and what is now Latvia and Estonia,
while also travelling to the USA, England and France. In his
discussions and analyses of the working conditions of the time,
readers will find many issues reflected that continue to be of
relevance today.
