Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military By : Neil deGrasse Tyson
Book Excerpt :
In this fascinating foray into the millennia-long relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. ?The overlap is strong, and it?s a two- way street,? say the authors, because the astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same things: multi- spectral detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion, and access to space. Tyson and Lang call it a ?curiously complicit? alliance.Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, 'ACCESSORY TO WAR' is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power that will introduce Tyson?s millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our world.RUNNING TIME ? 18hrs. and 38mins.?2018 Neil deGrasse Tyson and Avis Lang (P)2018 Random House Audio
