Hydraulicians in Europe 1800-2000
Willi Hager
Professor Hager should be complemented for his scholarly
masterpiece. This monumental compendium of single-page bio-sketches
highlights past European contributions in hydraulics. These brief
portraits and professional career summaries bring vibrant life to
scientists and engineers known through formulas, methods and
procedures. This monograph not only commemorates past
contributions, it will inspire future generations to pursue
deeply-rooted multi-disciplinary research at the international
level.
—Prof. Pierre Julien, Colorado State University, Fort Collins,
USAHydraulicians in Europe 1800-2000 by Willi H. Hager published by
IAHR in 2003 was the first volume of a monumental task undertaken
by the author. In this second volume of the same format as its
predecessor Prof. Hager mainly fills in gaps of volume 1 adding
also biographies of more recently deceased scientists and engineers
in the field of hydraulic engineering. Together volumes 1 and 2 are
not only evidence of the author's erudition and enthusiasm but
above all a very valuable and lasting reference.
—Emeritus Professor P. Novak, School of Civil Engineering and
Geosciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
