Reviews for The Scientific Correspondence of H.A. Lorentz: Volume I
“[This volume] of Lorentz’s correspondence is highly valuable sources for the working historian of science and for the curious (linguistically adept) physicist. They are astonishing witnesses to the greatness of a man whom most physicists of his time loved and learned from.” (Olivier Darrigol, Isis, Vol. 110 (4), 2019)
