Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz
Born: 31 Aug 1821 in Potsdam, Prussia, Germany
Died: 8 Sept 1894 in Berlin, Germany
One of the 19 th century's greatest scientists, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz made important discoveries in physiology, optics, electrodynamics, mathematics, and meteorology.
Known to electrochemists for the formulation of the double charged layer at an electrode/electrolyte interface
Education and scientific career
Helmholtz was the eldest of four children and because of his delicate health was confined to home for his first seven years. His father was a teacher of philosophy and literature at the Potsdam Gymnasium, and his mother was descended from William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. From his mother came the calm and reserve that marked him all his life. From his father came a rich, but mixed, intellectual heritage. His father taught him the classical languages, as well as French, English, and Italian. He also introduced him to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Johann Gottlieb Fichte and to the approach to nature that flowed from their philosophical insights. This "Nature philosophy," in the hands of early 19 th -century investigators, became a speculative science in which it was felt that scientific conclusions could be deduced from philosophical ideas, rather than from empirical data gathered from observations of the natural world. Much of Helmholtz' later work was devoted to refuting this point of view. His empiricism, however, was always deeply influenced by the aesthetic sensitivity passed on to him by his father, and music and painting played a large part in his science.

Helmholtz, Hermann von (1821-94)
The leading German physicist of his day and an early advocate of the idea of panspermia . In a public lecture delivered in 1871 he said: Who can say whether the comets and meteors . . . may not scatter germs of life wherever a new world has reached the stage in which it is a suitable dwelling place for organic beings? We might, perhaps, consider such life to be allied to ours, at least in germ, however different the form it might assume in adapting to its new dwelling place. Criticizing this hypothesis, which was put forward independently in the same year by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Frederick Zöllner argued that meteorites reach such high temperature on falling through the Earth's atmosphere that any organisms contained within them would be incinerated. In reply, Helmholtz pointed out that the interior of a meteorite would remain cool during its passage through the air and, in any case, organisms on the surface might be thrown free before the temperature became intolerable.

Hermann Helmholtz
Helmholtz, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von One of the 19th century's greatest scientists, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-1894), made important discoveries in physiology, optics, electrodynamics, mathematics, and meteorology. Although he was primarily interested in physics, he entered the Friedrich Wilhelm Medical Institute in Berlin because the state subsidized medical, but not purely scientific, education. Upon his graduation in 1842, he joined a military regiment at Potsdam. In 1858 he became a professor of anatomy and physiology at the University of Bonn. As his scientific interests changed, he became professor of physics at the University of Berlin in 1871 and the first director of the Physico-Technical Institute of Berlin in 1888. Helmholtz rejected the then-prevalent German concept that life processes involve nonphysical vital forces. He and several other associates, particularly Emil duBois-Reymond and Karl Ludwig, formed the so-called 1847, or mechanistic, school of physiology, which attempted to explain physiological phenomena in terms of physics and chemistry. In a series of papers published between 1843 and 1847, Helmholtz applied these principles to animal heat and muscle contraction. This application led to his classic paper, "On the Conservation of Energy" (1847), in which he outlined the philosophical and physical basis of the law of the conservation of energy (enunciated by several other investigators working independently at about the same time).

The Helmholtz centres do basic and preventive research as well as technical development for industry in natural science/technical as well as biological/medical fields. The Helmholtz centres have partnerships with universities for both research and for training. The centres are publicly funded, but scientifically independent and pursue the state's long-term research goals. Their research emphasizes - Structure of matter - Earth and environment - Transport and Space - Health - Energy - Key Technologies The organization promotes the exchange of experience and information among its members and coordinates their research and development work. The research centres focus on complex scientific/technological tasks and develop systems solutions. The association also operates major scientific instruments and installations.

‘[This reprinting is] most welcome. Even German readers have often to rely on the microform version of Koenigsberger which is part of the Landmark of Science collection. A book reprint will be much more useful. And since there is no biographical account of Helmholtz up until today, Koenigsberger remains the most important source….’ – Dr. Henning Schmidgen, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821–94) had a huge influence on German science during the mid nineteenth century, bringing it to the forefront of world attention. He was a physicist and psychologist who made seminal contributions in both fields. His Treatise on Physiological Optics (reprinted last year by Thoemmes Press) transformed the study of vision by integrating its physical and psychological dimensions. Helmholtz explained the mechanism of ‘accommodation’, invented the ophthalmoscope, and revived the three-colour theory of vision first proposed in 1801 by Thomas Young. He also invented the telestereoscope, produced some novel visual illusions, and argued for the involvement of knowledge in perception. Helmholtz was an inspiration to many others – notably his student Heinrich Hertz, the discoverer of radio waves. Leo Koenigsberger’s three-volume Hermann von Helmholtz (1902–1903) is one of the great scientific biographies of the early twentieth century. Exhaustive and scholarly, it contains a wealth of detail about Helmholtz’s personal and professional life. The books are illustrated with remarkable portraits, and a facsimile of a handwritten letter from Helmholtz to his father is included in an appendix. Koenigsberger’s work remains the standard life of Helmholtz to this day. It has never been fully translated into English, and even in the original German it is scarce. At a time when interest in the life and work of Helmholtz is increasing across the world, Thoemmes Press is pleased to be able to make this vital source more widely available.
