Re: Rudolf Gottlieb

O.K., I confess.  I was treating your question as a scavenger hunt.  I had
no idea who Rudolf Gotlieb (OR Gottlieb) was so I stuck the name into Alta
Vista and was directed to

  http://www.gospelcom.net/cccu/journals/csr/padgett.html

where I found the following

   "... The Second Law owes it origins to the work of Rudolf Gottlieb, a
   German physicist born in 1822, universally known as Clausius."

Since the information matched your general interests so closely I figured
I had won, but I have no idea if it is authoritative.  Sorry.
