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. 600 10 $a Planck, Max, $d 1858-1947. 600 10 $a Planck, Max, $d 1858-1947 $x Family. 600 10 $a Planck, Max, $d 1858-1947 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Einstein, Albert, $d 1879-1955. 600 17 $a Einstein, Albert, $d 1879-1955. $2 fast 600 17 $a Planck, Max, $d 1858-1947. $2 fast 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Physicists $z Germany $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Science $z Germany. 650 0 $a National socialism and science. 650 0 $a Physics $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast 650 7 $a National socialism and science. $2 fast 650 7 $a Physicists. $2 fast 650 7 $a Physics. $2 fast 650 7 $a Science. $2 fast 651 0 $a Germany $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Germany. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013826.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829013532.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20190627010428.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826112832.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160511011305.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20160224012638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1DAB09209B511E59737C9B2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
