=== ''Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics'' ===

'''''Thermodynamik und Statistik''''', the fifth volume of Sommerfeld's ''Lectures'', was edited by [[Fritz Bopp]] and [[Josef Meixner]] and published posthumously in 1952 by [[Dieterich'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung]]. The book was translated into the English volume '''''Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics''''' by [[Joseph Kestin]] and published in 1956 by [[Academic Press]]. The book was reviewed by [[Rudolf Peierls]]<ref name=PeierlsFive>{{Cite journal|last=Peierls|first=R.
