What are We to do with our Lives?

Abstract

THERE is nowadays scarcely an issue of NATURE which does not call upon scientific men to unite for ends beyond the specialised discussion of their own work. That the appeal does not entirely fail of response is shown by the slowly growing professional and social organisation of the scientific world and by the formation of propagandist societies which seek to impress upon the general public the importance of science in industry and government.

What are We to do with our Lives?

By H. G. Wells. Pp. vi + 148. (London: William Heinemann, Ltd., 1932.) 3s. 6d. net.
