Max Planck

What makes this book by Max Planck - one of the fathers of modern physics (Nobel Prize in Physics 1918) - invaluable is that he presents his entire world view - from the nature of scientific theories (how "the world image," given by a scientific theory, relates to "the world of the senses") to the origin of scientific ideas to the growth of scientific knowledge to the role of causality in science to the interaction between science and philosophy and faith and even to the issue of why "a suitable planning of school teaching is one of the most important conditions of progress in science." A wide range of readers can benefit from reading this book - from experts and students in science and philosophy (who will be exposed to a world view that made Planck one of the greatest physicists of all time) to everyone interested in science and philosophy because the book is written for a wide audience.

From the PREFACE TO ORIGINAL EDITION. The present book has for its object the presentation of the lectures which I delivered as foreign lecturer at Columbia University in the spring of the present year under the title: ""The Present System of Theoretical Physics."" The points of view which influenced me in the selection and treatment of the material are given at the beginning of the first lecture. Essentially, they represent the extension of a theoretical physical scheme, the fundamental elements of which I developed in an address at Leyden entitled: ""The Unity of the Physical Concept of the Universe."" Therefore I regard it as advantageous to consider again some of the topics of that lecture. The presentation will not and cannot, of course, claim to cover exhaustively in all directions the principles of theoretical physics. -The Author, Berlin, 1909.

Grundriss der allgemeinen Thermochemie - Mit einem Anhang: Der Kern des zweiten Hauptsatzes der W rmetheorie ist ein unver nderter, hochwertiger Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1893. Hansebooks ist Herausgeber von Literatur zu unterschiedlichen Themengebieten wie Forschung und Wissenschaft, Reisen und Expeditionen, Kochen und Ern hrung, Medizin und weiteren Genres. Der Schwerpunkt des Verlages liegt auf dem Erhalt historischer Literatur. Viele Werke historischer Schriftsteller und Wissenschaftler sind heute nur noch als Antiquit ten erh ltlich. Hansebooks verlegt diese B cher neu und tr gt damit zum Erhalt selten gewordener Literatur und historischem Wissen auch f r die Zukunft bei.

""Treatise On Thermodynamics"" is a classic scientific work written by the renowned physicist Max Planck in 1905. The book is an in-depth exploration of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, which is the study of the relationships between heat, energy, and work. Planck's treatise covers a wide range of topics related to thermodynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic potentials, thermodynamic cycles, and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of physics. One of the key contributions of ""Treatise On Thermodynamics"" is Planck's introduction of the concept of entropy, which has since become a fundamental concept in the field of thermodynamics. Planck's work on thermodynamics also laid the foundation for his later contributions to the field of quantum mechanics. Overall, ""Treatise On Thermodynamics"" is a seminal work in the field of physics and remains an important reference for anyone interested in the principles of thermodynamics.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1905 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

MAX PLANCK (1858-1947) ist als Begründer der Quantentheorie der herausragende Physiker Deutschlands. 1918 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Physik. Er hat sich in Wort und Schrift zu brennenden Problemen aus Kultur, Religion und Wissenschaft geäußert. Viele dieser Beiträge haben bis heute ihre Aussagekraft nicht verloren. Die vorliegende Sammlung, zusammengestellt und herausgegeben von Hans Roos und Armin Hermann, würdigt den Menschen und Physiker anläßlich des 100jährigen Jubiläums der Geburtsstunde der Quantentheorie (14.12.1900). Das Buch richtet sich an eine breite Leserschaft.

""Where Is Science Going?"" is a thought-provoking book by Max Planck, a renowned physicist and Nobel laureate. In this book, Planck explores the future of science and its impact on society. He argues that science is not just a collection of facts, but a way of thinking that can help us understand the world around us. Planck also discusses the limitations of science and the role of intuition and creativity in scientific discovery. He examines the relationship between science and religion, and the ethical implications of scientific progress. Throughout the book, Planck emphasizes the importance of scientific inquiry and the need for scientists to remain open-minded and curious. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science and the future of scientific discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
