PLANCK, Initiations à la Physique, 1941

Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his discovery of energy quanta, which marked the beginning of quantum physics. He is one of the founding fathers of this revolutionary branch of physics. This work, translated from German by J. Du Plessis de Grenédan, is probably part of an approach to popularizing and introducing the fundamental concepts of physics to a non-specialist audience.
