Springer, 2015. - 112 p. This book examines the different areas of knowledge, traditions, and conceptual resources that contributed to the building of Max Planck’s theory of radiation. It presents an insightful comparative analysis that not only sheds light upon a fundamental chapter in the history of modern physics, but also enlarges our understanding of how theoreticians...
Oxford University Press, 2015. — 258 p. Planck's Law, an equation used by physicists to determine the radiation leaking from any object in the universe, was described by Albert Einstein as "the basis of all twentieth-century physics." Max Planck is credited with being the father of quantum theory, and his work laid the foundation for our modern understanding of matter and...
University of California Press, 1986. - 264 p. In this moving and eloquent portrait, John Heilbron describes how the founder of quantum theory rose to the pinnacle of German science. With great understanding, he shows how Max Planck suffered morally and intellectually as his lifelong habit of service to his country and to physics was confronted by the realities of World War I...
Physik Journal, 2008, Vol. 7, No. 3, pp. 39–45. Jede Fragestellung, mit der sich Max Planck im Laufe seiner langen, bemerkenswerten Karriere befasste, war auf die eine oder andere Weise durch die Thermodynamik motiviert sowie durch Überlegungen zur Entropie. Zwar gab es zu Anfang seiner Forscherlaufbahn, während er noch im Schatten von Rudolph Clausius und Ludwig Boltzmann...
