Atoms, Mechanics, and Probability Ludwig Boltzmann's Statistico-Mechanical Writings - An Exegesis

The text is well written, clear and supported by black-and-white figures and historical footnotes. This book can be fully recommended to anyone with some background in mathematics and physics who is interested in the course of the discussion that led to modern statistical mechanics. It is also a good read for those interested in Boltzmann as a scientist and those who have a more general interest in the science of the period. Manuel Vogel, Contemporary Physics
