""War, Science and Civilization"" by William E. Ritter is a thought-provoking book that delves into the relationship between war, science, and civilization. The author argues that war has played a crucial role in shaping scientific progress and technological advancements throughout history. From the development of weapons and military strategies to the invention of new technologies such as radar and the internet, war has been a driving force behind many of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the past few centuries.Ritter also explores the impact of war on civilization, examining how it has influenced cultural and societal norms, and how it has shaped our understanding of morality and ethics. He argues that war has both positive and negative effects on civilization, and that it is important to understand these complexities in order to build a more peaceful and just world.Overall, ""War, Science and Civilization"" is a fascinating exploration of the interplay between war, science, and civilization, and is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between these three important aspects of human history.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.
