Planck, Max . TREATISE ON THERMODYNAMICS. London.: Longmans Green, and Co. , [1897] 1903. First English
Edition. 8vo. Grey buckram over boards. Wear to extremities. This is a copy which was recently strengthened by rebacking
and adding new leather spine (3 raised bands) with contrasting gilt-on-black spine title label, and gilt 1903 date stamped to
bottom compartment. Planck was a physicist studying thermodynamics ( "Uber die Grundlage der Losungstheorie) which led
to his formulation of quantum mechanics from a thermodynamic viewpoint. Only very occasional penciled marginalia, and
that same annotater/previous owner has written down (in pencil (opposite the title page) three errors she or he discovered in
Planck's thesis.

published by Messrs. Longmans, Green, & Co.") Good Plus. Hardcover.
