D O C . 2 8 1 R E V I E W P L A N C K 4 2 5 Published in Deutsche Literaturzeitung (1924): 1153–1154. [74 735]. [1]Planck 1923. Einstein had reviewed the first edition of Planck’s book (Planck 1906) in Einstein 1906f (Vol. 2, Doc. 37). The fifth edition contained slight modifications to the fourth edition, pub- lished in 1921, in which Planck had made considerable changes to the original 1906 version in light of the significant developments in quantum theory. Both reviews start with flattering remarks about the clarity of presentation and proceed to summarize the book’s content without much comment. [2]Einstein here singles out the derivation of the radiation law based on his own 1916/17 papers (see Einstein 1916j and 1916n [Vol. 6, Docs. 34 and 38], and Einstein 1917c).
