A concise, uncluttered edition for the modern reader, with a new introduction. Quantum Theory contains two foundational works of quantum research from the early years of the 20th Century, representing breakthroughs in science that radically altered the landscape of modern knowledge: Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra by Niels Bohr and The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory by Max Planck. The FLAME TREE Foundations series features core publications which together have shaped the cultural landscape of the modern world, with cutting-edge research distilled into pocket guides designed to be both accessible and informative.

The Conflict of Laws in Intellectual Property (CLIP) Principles address issues of private law for disputes involving intellectual property rights. They were produced by a Max Planck Institute research project, in which the authors of this work were heavily involved. The Principles are intended to provide a model European framework to respond to the increasing need for guidance on the applicable law. They represent a significant body of work which will help to inform developing practice on applicable law and conflict throughout the field. This new work presents the Principles, alongside article-by-article commentary and notes, which analyse thoroughly the context of the rule within the Principles, as well as within the existing legal solutions at the national, European and international level. It also explores the policy considerations underlying the rule, enabling a better understanding of why the Principles adopt the solutions laid out in the rules. Useful references are provided to the relevant legal provisions and cases dealing with the respective issues of intellectual property and private international law.

Originally published in 1931, this volume was created to mark the centenary of James Clerk Maxwell's birth. Comprised of ten essays dealing with various aspects of Maxwell's life and achievements, the text includes contributions from the following figures: J. J. Thomson; Max Planck; Albert Einstein; Joseph Larmor; James Jeans; William Garnett; Ambrose Fleming; Oliver Lodge; Richard Glazebrook; Horace Lamb. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Maxwell and his key role in the development of physics and mathematics.

MAX PLANCK (1858-1947) ist als BegrA1/4nder der Quantentheorie der herausragende Physiker Deutschlands. 1918 erhielt er den Nobelpreis fA1/4r Physik. Er hat sich in Wort und Schrift zu brennenden Problemen aus Kultur, Religion und Wissenschaft geAuAert. Viele dieser BeitrAge haben bis heute ihre Aussagekraft nicht verloren. Die vorliegende Sammlung, zusammengestellt und herausgegeben von Hans Roos und Armin Hermann, wA1/4rdigt den Menschen und Physiker anlAAlich des 100jAhrigen JubilAums der Geburtsstunde der Quantentheorie (14.12.1900).
Das Buch richtet sich an eine breite Leserschaft.
