ISBN:  9780190219475 (hardback : alkaline paper) : 0190219475 (hardback : alkaline paper) Description:  xviii, 258 pages : illustrations, map ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Max Planck is credited with being the father of quantum theory, and his work laid the foundation for our modern understanding of matter and energetic processes. But Planck's story is not well known, especially in the United States. A German physicist working during the first half of the twentieth century, his library, personal journals, notebooks, and letters were all destroyed with his home in World War II. What remains, other than his contributions to science, are handwritten letters in German shorthand, and tributes from other scientists of the time, including his close friend Albert Einstein. Brown tells the story of Planck's friendship with the far more outspoken Albert Einstein, and shows how his work fits within the explosion of technology and science that occurred during his life. The story of a brilliant man living in a dangerous time, Brandon Brown gives Max Planck his rightful place in the history of science, and shows how war-torn Germany deeply impacted his life and work.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530.092 Planck Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.092 Planck Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.092 Planck Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
