      abstract = {This book presents a collection of essays that explore the  life and works of Tatjana Afanassjewa (1876-1964), a  Russian-Dutch physicist-mathematician. Readers will  discover a scientist whose work on the foundations of  thermodynamics significantly influenced the field itself as  well as the philosophy of physics. This book highlights the  philosophical consequences of her work in physics and  mathematics and discusses historical aspects of her  writings on the foundations of physics. In addition, it  features English translations and critical reviews of key  selections from her texts. First and foremost, the book  highlights the numerous contributions that Afanassjewa made  to the field. In particular, the authors examine her work  on the foundations of thermodynamics and statistical  physics, starting in the 1920s and extending to 1956, well  after the untimely death of her husband in 1933. They also  explore her almost entirely forgotten work on the didactics  of mathematics. In addition, they discuss her influential  collaboration with her husband, the Austrian physicist Paul  Ehrenfest (18801933). The portrait that emerges is that of  a highly original physicist and mathematician, whose legacy  continues to influence scientists and philosophers today  and whose lesser-known works deserve more attention than  they have received. Readers will find a rich body of work  that continues to this day to yield insights into the  foundations of physics and mathematics.},
