In this fascinating autobiography from the foremost genius of twentieth-century physics, Max Planck tells the story of his life, his aims, and his thinking. Published posthumously, the papers in this volume were written for the general reader and make accessible his scientific theories as well as his philosophical ideals, including his thoughts on ethics and morals. Max (Karl Ernst Ludwig) Planck was a German physicist and philosopher known for his quantum theory, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Planck was born in Kiel, Germany, in 1858 to an academic family, and he valued education from a young age. He attended the Universities of Munich and Berlin to study physics under the great scientific leaders Kirchhoff and Helmholtz. His early work mainly focused on the study of thermodynamics, and in 1900 he published a paper on his quantum theory that would change the face of modern physics. Planck worked as a professor at Berlin University his entire life, and he also served as the president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Promotion of Science. During World War II, Planck experienced great hardships while he remained in Germany but openly opposed the Nazi regime. One of his two sons was executed during this time for an unsuccessful attempt on Hitler's life, and Planck's home in Berlin was eventually bombed. He continued to write on physics and philosophy until his death in 1947.

Best frother ever!
Color: Black
I’ve had this frother for over a year now and it’s by far the best I’ve ever had. I purchased others in the past and they would not hold charge or end up not working after a while, but this one holds a charge forever and has lasted well over a year. It’s easy to use and powerful. Highly recommend!

The best frother I ever had
Color: White
I have been using frothers to make a daily matcha latte since 2016 and, since each of them lasted only between 4 to 12 months, I had purchased many of them. This one is absolutely the best one! I bought it in July 2025 and I surely hope this will last more than one year. I will update my review if it stops working too soon. But , for now, it has been great! I totally love the strong, fast engine. It perfectly whips up my matcha latte in just 3-4 seconds! As I use a very tall cup, I never experienced any overflowing of the liquid. It feels heavy and stronger than my previous one, and I like that. The reason I took off one star is because it doesn’t come with a metal stand considering that it is not possible to keep it standing up on the kitchen counter because, on the top, it has a robber cover that it is not flat. I am using an old stand from one of the previous frothers but, as this frother is much heavier, it keeps falling down. It would be nice to have a stand that fits this frother! Other than that, so far, it is the best frother I have ever had!

Really powerful, responsive customer support
Color: Blue
Awesome for mixing protein powder into milk, Gatorade powder into water, making salad dressings, basically the kinds of work that would be overkill for an immersion blender. The unit I got started to vibrate like crazy after a few weeks. Contacted support and they said it was likely that the whisk rod was bent and said they'd refund me the cost of a new rod. We'll see if that solves the problem, but overall, I am impressed by their product and aftersales support.
