Description:About the author: Sir Patrick Geddes FRSE (1854 – 1932) was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner (see List of urban theorists). He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology. From inside the book: why not, then, begin our questioning towards a more scientific comprehension of these stupendous problems of war and peace, which, as we now see, so far exceed in difficulty, and in urgency also, all those specific problems and tasks to which each of us was devoted before the war? Then most of us left war to the soldiers or the historians; peace to the "pacifists" or the diplomatists; but now we are beginning to realize how deeply they concern us all. We see that our daily life has been enclosed within a larger and a sterner grasp of fate than we knew. For before this war, it was with the mass of all the peoples as with the passengers of the Lusitania before their catastrophe, despite kindred forebodings in both cases. But now many of us begin to realize that this terrific outburst of war is no mere stroke of fate, or bolt from the blue, but—like all dramatic expressions of fate—a resultant, and of forces, which, however stupendous in mass, however intricate in character, we cannot be content to leave mysterious and unexplored, or to accept either as " inevitable " or as " providential-" —as rival thought-shirkers would have us. This would be the bankruptcy of the social sciences; nay, worse, their desertion in face of the enemy, yielding up all thought to the physical sciences, with their merely palliative range.
