Studies in the Social Sciences, 1912-1916, Vol. 4


Book Description

Excerpt from Studies in the Social Sciences, 1912-1916, Vol. 4: Continuation of Studies in Sociology, Economics, Politics, and History This fact leads to a discussion of terms. For the stage of military Operations just mentioned, the terms military occupa tion, belligerent occupation, hostile occupation, or follow ing the French usage, simply occupation, have been indis criminately employed. During the last few years we have heard much of the military occupation of Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines by the United States, and of China by the united powers. Yet each case represents a different phase of occupation. Speaking more precisely only the last mentioned is a case in point throughout, such as is contemplated in our subject, though the other cases are analogous up to the signing of the treaty of peace with Spain.

Studies Scientific Social, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Studies Scientific Social, Vol. 1 of 2 I have ventured to call them Studies, because the larger part of them deal with problems in which I have been specially interested, and to the comprehension and solution of which I have devoted much time and thought. Many of these problems are connected with the modern theory of evolution, others with important geological and physical theories, others again with educational, political, or social questions. They are dealt with either in the way of exposition or criticism, and in several cases they contain novel views or fresh arguments, strengthening the case in favour of some of the disputed theories.
