Throughout his life Lewis Fry Richardson made many inspirational contributions to various disciplines. Often his ideas were ahead of contemporary thinking, and preceded the technical means necessary for their practical implementation. He is best known for his wealth of important work on meteorology, and his groundbreaking application of mathematics to the causes of war, though his field of interest was in no way limited to these topics, and various aspects of psychology and mathematical approximation also benefited from his unique approach. The originality of Richardson's research can be seen in this collection of all his important papers in the behavioural sciences.

Early contributions to the study of conflict
16 Jan 2001
By Dr K.S. Gleditsch
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This volume contains parts of Richardson's work on international conflict that did not make it into the books published posthumously in the 1960s _Statistics on Deadle Quarrels_ and _Arms of Insecurity_, including a number of shorter communications and debates. Richardson's work looks quite different from contemporary research on conflict within and among states, but much of it still makes for fascinating reading.
