One of Planck's greatest papers, "Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge" describes his work on black body radiation and posits "Planck's Constant," the quantum of action that is central to quantum mechanics. The other papers deal with related areas of thermodynamics and entropy.

Some rubbing and wear to covers, first spine torn, very good.
