Handbuch der Physik

The Handbuch der Physik is a German-language handbook of physics, with its second edition published between 1955 and 1984, often referred to by its editor, Siegfried Flügge. Physics has not received the same level of encyclopedic attention as chemistry or chemical engineering. Other notable physics encyclopedias include the Dictionary of Applied Physics (1922–23) by Sir Richard Glazebrook and the Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Physics (1961–64). Hermann von Helmholtz, a prominent scientist, made significant contributions to physics, including his work on the conservation of energy and electrodynamics.12
