On the Continuity of the Gaseous and Liquid States (Phoenix Edition)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This much-cited thesis by the recipient of the 1910 Nobel Prize in physics is accompanied by an introductory essay by J. S. Rowlinson and an additional work by the author. The centerpiece of this book, an English translation of van der Waals's 1873 Leiden thesis, presents an "Equation of State" that embraces both gases and liquids and demonstrates that these two states not only merge in a continuous manner, but are, in fact, of the same nature. Editor J. S. Rowlinson's introduction places the thesis within the context of its era and explains its ongoing value, and a translation of another of van der Waals's frequently quoted papers, "Molecular Theory of a Substance Composed of Two Different Species," concludes the text. 1988 ed. New Errata List.
