Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inventions of the Great War The great World War was more than two thirds over when America entered the struggle, and yet in a sense this country was in the war from its very beginning. Three great inven tions controlled the character of the fighting and made it different from any other the world has ever seen. These three inventions were American. The submarine was our invention; it carried the war into the -sea. The airplane was an American invention; it carried the war into the sky. We invented the machine gun; it drove the war into the ground. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New World of Science: Its Development During the War In February, 1919, the editor of the Century New World Series invited Dr. George Ellery Hale to prepare for the series a volume onthe war and science. This invitation contained the following suggestions: It is desirable to give, first, a general statement of the ex tent to which the successful prosecution of the war required the mobilization of the resources of the country; second, the manner in which such resources came to the aid Of the Govern ment; third, the results gained in the fields Of research; and, finally, the effect that the war has had and will have on the promotion Of scientific research and the application of science to industry in the future. An account, of course, should be given of the organization and work of the National Research Council and the other agencies created by the Government for the handling of scientific phases of the war administration. Dr. Hale, feeling that it was impracticable for him to prepare the entire volume, requested the writer to arrange with scientific authorities for the preparation of various chapters and to act as editor of the volume. It was originally planned to have manuscripts prepared by a few individuals, each Of whom should be responsible for the military contributions of a cer tain science or group of sciences. This idea could not be put into effect because Of specialization in scientific war service. The final outcome was the splitting of major sections of the book into chapters which deal with the special aspects and contributions of physics, chemistry, geology, and other sciences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inventions: Their Development, Purchase and Sale The knowledge herein recorded was obtained by busi ness men after the hardest knocks, and they were years and years accumulating the experience that is the reader's for a few hours' study. Today, to be a success means constant study. Every line of activity will furnish ideas that one can use in one's business. The more serviceable knowl edge one possesses, the better equipped will one be to win out in business. Life is a constant struggle anyway. It is good for people to strive, even des perately if need be, for a certain goal. When attained, it will be appreciated. Try to dispose of a patent in the right way, and it will not be difficult to succeed. It takes strength and power to get up and keep on plugging with the determination to win after you have fallen down in the race. But armed with con crete knowledge, there is no reason why the inventor should not succeed. Guessing is worse than useless. Germany has lost the war because she regularly mis guessed everybody.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Invention: Told by Inventors and Their Friends The reader may or may not have seen these books, so much the worse for him if he have not, but that omis sion of his may be easily repaired. There are four of them stories OF war told by Soldiers stories OF the sea told by Sailors; stories OF adventure told by Ad venturers stories OF discovery told by Discoverers. Since the regular meetings began, of which these books are the history, the circle of visitors has changed more or less, as most circles will, in five years. Some of those who met are now in another world. Some of the boys have grown to be so much like men, that they are subw duing the world, as Uncle Fritz would say, in their several places, and that they write home, from other latitudes and longitudes, of the Discoveries and Adventures in which they have themselves been leaders. But younger sisters and brothers take the places of older brothers and sisters. The club -for it really is one is popular, Lady Oliver's house is large, and Uncle Fritz is hospitable. He says himself that there is always room for more; and Ellen Flaherty, or whoever else is the reigning queen in the kitchen, never complains that the demand is too great for her waffles.

This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wars of the Century and the Development of Military Science No account of the Nineteenth Century would be complete without a narrative of its wars which are not inferior in interest to any which History records. The campaigns of Napoleon are not only replete with instruction for the military student, but are full of striking dramatic incidents, and from the marvellous personality of the principal actor in them exercise a fascination over the mind of the reader independent of his sympathies. The War of Secession in America touches us nearly both from the science and heroism displayed in it, and from the fact that the two combatants were of the same race and language, while the great War of 1870 must remain fr-r many years the classical example of every branch of the military art.

This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons: Large Print Willis John Abbot INTRODUCTORY It was at Mons in the third week of the Great War. The grey-green German hordes had overwhelmed the greater part of Belgium and were sweeping down into France whose people and military establishment were all unprepared for attack from that quarter. For days the little British army of perhaps 100,000 men, that forlorn hope which the Germans scornfully called "contemptible," but which man for man probably numbered more veteran fighters than any similar unit on either side, had been stoutly holding back the enemy's right wing and fighting for the delay that alone could save Paris. At Mons they had halted, hoping that here was the spot to administer to von Kluck, beating upon their front, the final check. The hope was futile. Looking back upon the day with knowledge of what General French's army faced-a knowledge largely denied to him-it seems that the British escape from annihilation was miraculous. And indeed it was due to a modern miracle-the conquest of the air by man in the development of the airplane. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War's New Weapons: An Expert Analysis in Plain Language of the Weapons and Methods Used in the Present Great War It is now such an old, old, threadbare story, that it no longer needs repetition that our standing army is a mere corporal's guard; that our militia could stand before a trained army just about as long as a small boy could stand before a John L. Sullivan, while our navy is absolutely inadequate to defend our coast cities or to secure the country against invasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Win the War I like to see so much enthusiasm for a job as you are showing here. You are here to find out what you can do to help win the war. Now, what is it that your chairman wants you to do? That is what I want to talk to you about: what the job is and the necessity for this work. It's the biggest job America ever faced, or is ever likely to face. It is a job so big that none of us has walked around and measured it. We have only got some little views of the mountain that is ahead of us. We are just beginning to understand what it means to go to war in the modern sense and what it means to prepare America for war. We knew we were unprepared. I don't know whether we knew how thoroughly unprepared we were. Our unpreparedness was complete. But when we come to make an inventory of what is necessary; when we come to understand what a gigantic task it is to equip an army; when we come to know something about modern warfare and understand that it is a matter of equipment as much as it is of men; then we begin to see something of the size of this undertaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's Munitions, 1917-1918: Report of Benedict Crowell, the Assistant Secretary of War, Director of Munitions Except in one or two instances, this account of the production of munitions in America for the war against Germany and her allies contains nothing about secret devices invented during the period under discussion. When the necessity for silence with respect to vital matters brought about a voluntary censorship in American publications, the land was filled with rumors of new and revolutionary developments in war materiel, particularly of new weapons of Offense. It is fair to the American public to-day to state that such rumors were not without foundation. American inventiveness rose splendidly to the emergency. The expected American Offensive in 1919 would have had its surprises in numbers, some of which might well have proved to be decisive. Certain Of these inventions had been put in large production before the armistice was declared, others had been carried to an advanced experimental stage that insured their success. Since the value of these innovations as part of the Nation's permanent military assets depends largely upon their secret nature, it would be obviously unwise to mention or describe them at this time.
