There is an engineer with a Goodreads author page who has 5 books on it that are not from him (I'm 100% certain, since he's a person I'm personally familiar with.). So they need to be split apart and added to someone else with the same name.

About the engineer/scientist: He wrote a number of titles on rock mechanics and similar topics. He died in 1988. All of his books were originally published before 2000 (including posthumously).

You can find his Wikipedia here. The German page is more expansive:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold...

On his author page are 5 books from 2018. They are also not topic related.

This is the author page in question:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

So please create a second Leopold Müller and add these 5 books to that "new" author:

Thank you for correcting this!

Done. It might take a while for updates to show.

Are all of the books here the engineer's books? Some of them also don't seem topic related. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Great question!

The following 3 books are probably from the same other Leopold Müller who wrote the aforementioned 5 books that I've linked to above and that you've already split off. They are all about health / nutrition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

To be clear. I can rule out that these 3 are from the engineer/scientist Leopold Müller.


In addition to that, there are 3 entries of a book titled "Practical and Theoretical Grammar of the German Language".

Not only does such a book not fit into the body of work of this engineer. But one of the titles also states that it's from 1858. The engineer war born in 1908.

So I'm sure that these are not from the engineer either. Here are the 3 links:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The remaining books are all from the engineer/scientist.

If it is possible to add more info to the author page of the engineer, perhaps you could write that he was born in 1908 and died in 1988. Both in Salzburg, Austria. And if it's practice on Goodreads, link to the Wikipedia page.

A short bio would be:

Leopold Müller (1908-1988, both in Salzburg) was an Austrian engineer and scientist who was involved in pioneering work in the area of rock mechanics and tunneling. His foundational experiences came from road, tunnel, dam and other projects before, during and after WW2.

His contributions led to the founding of a new, nowadays widely spread tunneling method (NATM) and an international scientific organization in rock mechanics (ISRM). Further he established and led a scientific research lab in rock mechanics at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, where the vast majority of the over 200 scientific studies that he was involved in was conducted.

As a professor he taught engineers mostly at Karlruhe and later Salzburg University, but also during his 300+ international lectures. He published a scientific magazine and founded an engineering company that outlasted him (Müller und Hereth). He also served as an advisor on many projects all over the world, including dam disasters (e.g. Vajont, Italy) and as an official advisor for the Wold Bank during the time that it was involved in large scale infrastructure projects. He invented a camera probe for bore holes (1969).

He played a key role in the preservation of the old town of Salzburg, Austria, which had been damaged in WW2 - as well as other historical structures that suffered from aging, such as the town's castle. He was involved in the founding of various schools. He was an honorable member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

He was also an author of multiple textbooks. He died while working on his final textbook as well as his autobiography. Only the former of which got finished posthumously.

I hope this is not too long. But there is more, that one could write...


Thank you!

Done. There isn't a place for a Wikipedia link, but I've otherwise fleshed out the author page.
