4 volumes of Annalen der Physik. Trans. from German: Annals of Physics. Planck, Max, et.al including Einstein, Albert Ex-Library 1) 8vo. Brown leather over red cloth boards. Three papers in one volume: "Die Plancksche Theorie der Strahlung und die Theorie der spezifischen Warme” pp 180-190; AND "Ueber die Gultigkeitsgrenze des Satzes vom thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht und uber die Moglichkeit einer neuen Bestimmung der Elementarquanta", pp. 569-572; AND WITH "Berichtigung zu meiner Arbeit: Die Plancksche Theorie der Strahlung...", p. 800 in Annalen der Physik, Vierte Folge, 4/22, 1907; viii, 1016pp, 4 plates, portrait. "In 1907 Einstein pointed out how one could use the quantized energy of the oscillations of atoms in solids to account for departures from the rule of Dulong and Petit. This empirical rule, that the specific heat is the same for one mole of any element in solid form, was understood as a consequence of the theorem of equipartition of energy"--Dictionary of Scientific Biography. This first paper is marked by Einstein bibliographer Weil as being of particular importance. Refs: Weil 15*&16; Schlipp_Shields 16&17, Boni 15&16; d'Abro, Rise of Modern Physics II, pp 317ff. Einstein's first paper on the quantum theory of solids (together with an added note), in which Einstein deduces Planck’s radiation formula. One of Einstein’s major papers, this paper contained "the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of quantum theory." The second listed paper is a errata to the first paper. Boni 15, 16. The First Systematic Introduction of Probability 800. Factors in the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (1907) 2) 8vo. Full black cloth. A theory of the foundations of thermodynamics 3) 8vo. Quarter brown leather with corners over marbled boards. On the thermodynamic theory of the potential difference between metals and completely dissociated [sic] solutions of their salts and on an electrical method for investigating the molecular forces. 4) 8vo. Half black cloth over marbled boards. Kinetic theory of heat equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics (entropy).
