Krátky popis
Kathleen Lonsdale was a groundbreaking chemist who was instrumental
in developing the science of crystallography. She was also a
midlife convert to Quakerism who campaigned for peace and prison
reform. Horrified by the dropping of the first atomic bombs,
Lonsdale felt that the entire scientific community was now tainted
by the violence it had enabled.Published in 1957, Is Peace
Possible? was her attempt to make amends for this communal guilt by
demonstrating that science can bring peace as well as war, and can
address the 'big questions' generally left to the humanities. In
crystalline language and logic honed from a lifetime of relying on
the sharpness of her mind to cut through barriers of class and
gender, Kathleen Lonsdale's Is Peace Possible? is a work of quiet,
elegant sanity that refuses to be bullied by the received wisdom of
war's inevitability. It is a snapshot of a particular moment in
history, but its themes are eternally relevant, and even more
necessary now than when it was written.
