Discover the provocative insights of **'Can Science End War?'** by Everett Carl Dolman, a compelling book that delves into the intricate connections between **science and warfare**. Published in 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, this **200-page** exploration addresses the stark realities of future combat, with dystopian visions of autonomous drones and relentless technological advancements reshaping the battlefield. As we unravel the role of **science in military history**, we confront a critical question: can scientific progress lead to lasting peace, or will it only amplify **the destructiveness of future conflicts**? While science has historically contributed to ending wars, from the effectiveness of tanks in World War I to the atomic bomb’s impact on World War II, Dolman challenges the reader to ponder whether innovation can cultivate conditions for a **permanent peace**. With the rise of technology that makes wars increasingly horrific, this book offers a thought-provoking narrative that examines if science can prevent war or if it merely escalates human conflict. Ideal for academics, military strategists, and anyone interested in the ethics of warfare, **'Can Science End War?'** invites readers to reflect on what it truly means to be human in the face of relentless technological change.

Description:
Free-roaming killer drones stalk the battlespace looking for organic targets. Human combatants are programmed to feel no pain. Highpower microwave beams detonate munitions, jam communications, and cook internal organs.Is this vision of future war possible, or even inevitable? In this timely new book, Everett Carl Dolman examines the relationship between science and war. Historically, science has played an important role in ending wars “ think of the part played by tanks in breaching trench warfare in the First World War, or atom bombs in hastening the Japanese surrender in the Second World War “ but to date this has only increased the danger and destructiveness of future conflicts. Could science ever create the con-ditions of a permanent peace, either by making wars impossible to win, or so horrific that no one would ever fight? Ultimately, Dolman argues that science cannot, on its own, end war without also ending what it means to be human.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled.
Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test.
Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades.
Too expensive for what it offers.
