The extensive interaction between science/technology and the
military has become increasingly apparent in the years since the
Second World War. New institutional arrangements, new fields of
study and research, new patterns of funding and support, new
relations with industry, the academy and the state, and new
professional roles have marked the sciences and technology; the
military transformations have been equally important: new weapons
systems of great complexity, new strategies and practices, new
reliance on high technologies and advanced sciences, and extensive
involvement in the funding of science and technology in the
'civilian' sector. While the literature in the social studies of
science and technology has from time to time addressed these issues
(especially from the historical perspective), the attention paid to
the very extensive interactions and concommitant transformations
has not been commensurate with the magnitude of the enterprise or
changes undergone. These volumes contribute both reports of new
research and stimulating additional study.Volume 12/1 contains Part
I: War and the restructuring of physics, and Part II: The military
and technological development.Volume 12/2 contains Part III:
Transformation of industry and medicine, Part IV: Nuclear weapons
and nuclear power, and Part V: R&D: military, industry and the
academy.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
