Science And The New Civilization (essay Index Reprint Series)

This book consists of a series of addresses some of which have appeared before in the form of articles, but all of which represent discussion of one aspect or another of the central theme chosen as the title of the book. Acknowledgments are due to The Atlantic Monthly, to The Forum, to Science, and to Scribner's Magazine for permission to reproduce in the present form discussions which have appeared in part in their pages. | Though the speaker is a scientist, he is addressing herein a general rather than a scientific audience in the hope that the presentation in this form of his point of view may assist in the spread of a better understanding of the purposes and attitude of science, as well as of the role which it has played in the past, is playing now, and may yet play in the progress of the races.
