Boltzmann's research papers were collected in three volumes by Hasenöhrl, F. and published as Wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen (Leipzig, 1909). His larger works are Vorlesungen über die Prinzipien der Mechanik, 2 vols. (Leipzig, 1897–1904); Vorlesungen über Maxwells Theorie der Elektricität und des Lichtes, 2 vols. (Leipzig, 1891–1893); and Vorlesungen über Gastheorie, 2 vols. (Leipzig, 1896–1898). Boltzmann's more general writings have been collected in Populäre Schriften (Leipzig, 1905).Google Scholar
The biography by Broda, E., Ludwig Boltzmann (Vienna, 1955), contains an excellent account of Boltzmann's physics and his philosophy. For a more technical discussion of the H-theorem and of related questions, see Paul and Tatiana Ehrenfest, The Conceptual Foundations of the Statistical Approach in Mechanics (Ithaca, N.Y., 1959); Hans Reichenbach, The Direction of Time (Berkeley, 1956); and Dirk ter Haar, “Foundations of Statistical Mechanics”, in Reviews of Modern Physics (July 1955).Google Scholar
