In this moving and eloquent portrait, John Heilbron describes how
the founder of quantum theory rose to the pinnacle of German
science. With great understanding, he shows how Max Planck suffered
morally and intellectually as his lifelong habit of service to his
country and to physics was confronted by the realities of World War
I and the brutalities of the Third Reich. In an afterword written
for this edition, Heilbron weighs the recurring questions among
historians and scientists about the costs to others, and to Planck
himself, of the painful choices he faced in attempting to build an
"ark" to carry science and scientists through the storms of Nazism.
