M. Planck, a man of science and of universal speculation

My copy is hardback (c) 1932, W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, N.Y. Prologue by Albert Einstein; trans. by James Murphy. There is more to this book than just raw science, but what there is relates nicely to his speculation upon the grander scale. It qualifies as a science 101 book in my estimation. The author was a profound humanist as well as a theorectical scientist and professor in Germany between the First and Second World Wars. His allusions to religion are Universal rather than specific. I found myself emersed in his dialog relative to my own thinking born of my education in History, and life's experience. I won't say he altered my conclusions but certainly expanded my range of thought to a higher level. Max Planck admits the limits of his profession while at the same time adding considerably both to my vocabulary and comprehension. I recommend readers have a dictionary handy that will permit them better to understand the implications of what he has to say. It is not an easy book to read, but one that serious thinkers should appreciate.
