Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salvaging of Civilization the Probable Future of Mankind The two years of want, confusion, and indecision that have followed the great war in Europe and Asia, and the uncertainties that have disturbed life even in the comparatively untouched American world, seem to many watchful minds even more ominous to our social order than the war itself. What is happening to our race? they ask. Did the prosperities and confident hopes with which the twentieth century opened, mark nothing more than a culmination of fortuitous good luck? Has the cycle of prosperity and progress closed? To what will this staggering and blundering, the hatreds and mischievous adventures of the present time, bring us? Is the world in the opening of long centuries of confusion and disaster such as ended the Western Roman Empire in Europe or the Han prosperity in China? And if so, will the debacle extend to America? Or is the American (and Pacific?) system still sufficiently removed and still sufficiently autonomous to maintain a progressive movement of its own if the Old World collapse? Some sort of answer to these questions, vast and vague though they are, we must each one of us have before we can take an intelligent interest or cast an effective vote in foreign affairs. Even though a man formulate no definite answer, he must still have an implicit persuasion before he can act in these matters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salvaging of Civilization the Probable Future of Mankind Not on a scale to affect the general truth Of the proposition. The first intimation of the great change began seven centuries ago with the appear ance of explosives. In the thirteenth century the Mongols made a very effective military use Of the Chinese discovery Of gunpowder. They conquered most Of the known world, and their introduction of a low - grade explosive in warfare rapidly de stroyed the immunity Of castles and walled cities, abolished knighthood, and utterly wrecked and devastated the irrigation system Of Mesopotamia, which had been a populous and civilized region since before the beginnings of history. But the restricted metallurgical knowledge Of the time set definite limits to the size and range Of cannon. It was only with the nineteenth century that the large scale production Of cast steel and the growth Of chemical knowledge made the military use of a variety of explosives practicable. The systematic extension Of human power began in the eighteenth century with the utilization of steam and coal. That opened a crescendo of invention and discovery which thrust rapidly increasing quantities Of material energy into men's hands. Even now that crescendo may not have reached its climax.

Download or read book The Salvaging of Civilization written by H. G. Wells and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". The Probable Future of Mankind is the subtitle of this book, and sums up very definitely what it is about. In his early days Mr. Wells was very preoccupied with a possible future where the world was overrun by monsters from Mars, and really those flights of fancy of his are rather more intriguing than his present notions of the world over-run by committees. However for those whose present allows them enough leisure to toy with the potential Utopias the book is fluent and glib enough of course, although it does lead to those terrible discussions of the Five-Foot-Book-Shelf genre, which are apt to be fluent also, but illustrative of how futile is the mere idea of Utopia.

Book excerpt: The Salvaging of Civilization, was a work on civilisational technics that was first published in 1921. Before and during the war Wells, was a somewhat of an optimist. He believed that the folly of war was something that could be overcome and finally put to rest. The Salvaging of Civilization sets about planning a World State for the future, foreshadowing both The Open Conspiracy and The New World Order, that he wrote in later years. In this book he lays out his plans for a World State, and enlarging patriotism from the nation state out into the world. He also lays out his plans for a new form of progressive education, that echo the radically progressive thinker Comenius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *This Book is annotated (it contains a detailed biography of the author). *An active Table of Contents has been added by the publisher for a better customer experience. *This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors. H.G. Wells wrote this in 1921 as basically a series of lectures he planned to give in America on how the future of education should go. In his present, Wells found the educational system deplorable. He states in the last part of the book that ill health prevented these lectures, and also hampered what I assumed to be the editing of the book. That given, he probably shouldn't have published it, but as an author the urge to publish a major writing, no matter how flawed, can be irresistible.The substance of the book is an excruciatingly detailed and rather pedantic treatise on how to fix, not only education, but civilization itself, although his greatest concentration was on education. It's a secret to only a few perhaps, that Wells favored Socialism over Capitalism, and his urge to control the "masses" is evident here.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extremely important philosophical and political book which concerned people throughout the world, include world leaders, should pay attention to. Wells was a visionary and genius who knew the strengths and weaknesses of men's minds and the proclivities of human nature. He could see where the world needed to be going immediately after the devastation of World War I and, in effect, where it still needs to be going today in order to thrive. He predicts for the future how a political reorganization must take place with the world as a unity, and how the general masses lack any will whatsoever to make it happen. Chapters include The Probable Future of Mankind, The Project of a World State, The Bible of Civilization, The Schooling of the World, and more. This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
