Summary

War is a complex and challenging phenomenon that has been with us for centuries. It is a topic that has been debated by philosophers, theologians, and political leaders for millennia. In this book, we explore the moral, ethical, and practical dimensions of war in a comprehensive and accessible manner.

We begin by examining the just war tradition and its principles, which have been used for centuries to justify or condemn the use of military force. We then consider the arguments for and against war from a variety of perspectives, including pacifism, realism, and humanitarian intervention.

We also explore the decision-making process that leads to war, the conduct of war, and the aftermath of war. We consider the role of leaders, the influence of public opinion, and the impact of new technologies on the decision to go to war. We also discuss the moral limits on the use of force, the responsibility to protect civilians, and the challenges of post-war reconstruction and peacebuilding.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the moral issues surrounding war. It is a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone else who is interested in making informed judgments about the use of military force.

In this book, you will find:

* A clear and comprehensive overview of the moral issues involved in war

    This Stolen Land - A People's...

    The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.

    Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
 
 
 
Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
 
  
 
Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
