Présentation de l'éditeur
This book contains a series of articles contributed to “The Times” in July and August of 1916. Due to their originality and depth of view, the articles deeply interested H. G. Wells, who collected them into this volume. The articles are primarily concerned with modern law and its creation in a post-Wwi society, and will appeal to those with an interest in law and post-Wwi society. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Science in education and industry”, “Scientific agriculture and the nation's food”, “The long view and labour”, “Problems of political adaptation”, “An imperial constitution”, and “Higher education in the empire”. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as “The Time Machine” (1895), “The Invisible Man” (1897), and “The War of the Worlds” (1898). Although never a winner, Wells was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature a total of four times. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Elements of Reconstruction (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a comprehensive plan for Britain's reconstruction after World War 1. It argues that to compete with Germany and address domestic food supply, businesses must be amalgamated and brought under State control. The industrial and economic system must change from one consisting of a large number of small, competing businesses to a more modern system of larger, more efficient businesses operating on a far wider basis. The author asserts that the traditional national method of education, training, and research is inadequate. Instead, the book advocates for a new education system to be developed alongside the industrial and economic system, so that students are instructed in, and become parties to, the great national industrial undertakings. Furthermore, the book discusses the urgent need to address the possibilities of acute labor trouble after the war and argues that the key to a successful resolution lies in comprehensive amalgamations and syndicates into which the State enters as a controlling partner. This insightful analysis of the economic challenges faced by Britain in the aftermath of World War 1 provides a valuable perspective on the complexities of economic reconstruction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334466885_0
