In 1909 the great German physicist and Nobel Prize winner Max Planck (1858-1947) delivered a series of eight lectures at Columbia University giving a fascinating overview of the new state of physics, which he had played a crucial role in bringing about.The first, third, fifth, and sixth lectures present his account of the revolutionary developments occasioned when he first applied the quantum hypothesis to blackbody radiation. The reader is given a valuable opportunity to witness Planck's thought processes both on the level of philosophical principles as well as their application to physical processes on the microscopic and macroscopic scales.
In the second and fourth lectures Planck shows how the new ideas of statistical mechanics transformed the understanding of chemical physics. The seventh lecture discusses the principle of least action, while the final one gives an account of the theory of special relativity, of which Planck had been an early champion.
These lectures are especially important since they reflect Planck's reconsiderations and rethinking of his original discovery of quantum theory. A new Introduction by Peter Pesic places this book in historical perspective among Planck's works and those of his contemporaries. Now available in this inexpensive edition, it will be of particular interest to students of modern physics and of the philosophy and history of science.

Horrible quality
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Red
Horrible quality. The crank didn't work. The umbrella just flopped open. Once it did I cranked it, but it was cranking in wrong direction. Umbrella sat totally lopsided. The overall quality of this umbrella including the canopy is junk. Looks cheap. Returning!!

Peacock Blue
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Lake Blue
Not out yet because of weather, but it looks good, unusual point that some of the spokes according to the directions need to be put on yourself, but at least this way they not bent in box. Note when I bought it - it used the color Lake Blue but the picture was a Peacock Blue - I took the chance and it is a Peacock Blue- I would not call it Lake at all or sky or any of those colors. It worked out for me as it matches perfectly with my Peacock Blue cushions and other umbrellas, It defintiely seems like it is sturdy and the size looks as it should, it has a nice weight as i did open it in house to take a look, the material has a slight sheen which makes it appear a little different than my others, but not something most people would notice.

Perfect over a picnic table!
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Lake Blue
Great umbrella. We used it over a rectangular picnic table and the shape was perfect. Love the color too!

Attractive and seems like it will hold up
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Blue-Green Stripe
Seems sturdy enough. Tilt button is difficult to retract to straight, but maybe just my finger strength, or it will loosen up with time. The color of one of the stripes is off from the photo. I was hoping it was turquoise as shown in picture, but is actually a much deeper blue. Doesn't coordinate with my other patio colors like I hoped it would, but it will do.

Would recommend
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Dark Blue
Love the rectangular shape, it allows more coverage in areas that I need it. The tilt feature works well and is handy. Easy to put together and would recommend
