Correspondence and Papers (By Author)
Haar, Dirk ter [Theoretical physicist at Oxford, arrived there after SGB had started his graduate work; SGB had brief conversations with him about SGB's work on statistical mechanics, and he was appointed one of SGB's two dissertation examiners (the other was H.N.V. Temperley). Later he invited SGB to contribute a volume to his series of Selected Readings in Physics, published by Pergamon Press. The original volume grew to 3 volumes on Kinetic Theory. (See the preface to SGB's anthology, The Kinetic Theory of Gases, Imperial College Press, which reprints the first 2 volumes of the series with additional material. In addition to fostering SGB's career as a historian of physics, ter Haar also wrote early papers on the theory of the Origin of the Solar System, which attracted SGB's interest in the 1970s when SGB started to work on the history of that subject. ] -- NOTE: Letters on the origin of the solar system, documenting the beginning of SGB's interest in the topic; papers of Fritz London; SGB's Selected Readings in Physics book on Kinetic Theory; J.D. van der Waals; SGB's appointment to UMCP; Ising cubic lattice; translating Russian physics books; copy of letter to Edward Teller from Russell S. Poor about bringing DtH to Livermore., 1959-1980
