""War, Science and Civilization"" by William E. Ritter is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between war, science, and civilization throughout history. The book examines how scientific advancements have been used in warfare, and how war has driven scientific progress. Ritter argues that war has played a significant role in shaping the course of human history, and that scientific discoveries have often been motivated by the need to develop new weapons and technologies for war. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of gunpowder, the role of science in World War II, and the impact of war on the environment. Ritter also explores the ethical implications of using science for military purposes, and the potential for science to contribute to peace and global cooperation. Overall, ""War, Science and Civilization"" provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between war, science, and human progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

Civilization and not war is the main theme of this essay. The European cataclysm was, it is true, the stimulus to the expression of the present views, but it has only an incidental place in the discussion. Two things have specially influenced me to consider certain aspects of the subject now uppermost in the worlds attention. First, the leading nations on both sides in this struggle assert with the greatest positiveness and undoubtedly with a large measure of sincerity that they are fighting for civilization as well as for their own interests. Second, science and scientific ideas are playing important parts in the tragedy now being acted on the world stage. The physicist, the chemist, and the engineer are not only behind the gun, they are also behind the departments of state and war. Furthermore, eminent publicists make much of the biological argument both in defense of war and in denunciation of it.
