Lewis Fry Richardson: His Intellectual Legacy and Influence in the Social Sciences

Nils Petter Gleditsch

978-3-030-31589-4

2020
Edition 1
- Examines the work of Lewis F Richardson, who is unique in occupying an important position in two disparate academic fields: meteorology and peace research
- Reviews his work in peace research, where he pioneered the use of mathematical models and the meticulous compilation of databases for empirical research and is regularly cited for these contributions
- Discusses the strict standards he set not only for his scientific work but also for its ethical aspects
- Reveals how, as a Quaker and pacifist, he refused to work in preparation for war, paid a heavy price in terms of his career, and (at least in the social sciences) was only recognized as a pioneering scholar posthumously
