Absolute Value of the Entropy (Nernst’s Theorem) N2 - Max Planck’s Treatise on Thermodynamics (1897) is a landmark work that rigorously formulates the fundamental laws of classical thermodynamics. It’s considered one of the most precise and logically consistent treatments of the subject from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here’s a concise summary of the book’s key ideas and structure ER -
