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 606 $aPhysicists$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xScience$zGermany 606 $aNational socialism and science 606 $aPhysics$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScience$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aPhysicists 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xScience 615 0$aNational socialism and science. 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a530.092 686 $aSCI034000$2bisacsh 700 $aBrown$b Brandon R.$01538927 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788012903321 996 $aPlanck$93789450 997 $aUNINA
