<div>Even in his lifetime, Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley (1887-1915), was widely regarded as the most promising British physicist of his generation, and his early death prompted a reassessment of the role that scientists might play in war. <i>For Science, King&#160;and Country </i>charts his brief career, military service,&#160;and lasting influence in a field of science that is still rapidly developing.<br> &#160;<br> Composed of essays by eleven scholars who explore Moseley&#8217;s life, work, and legacy,<i> For Science, King and Country </i>speaks to both historians and scientists&#160;and draws on a wealth of newly discovered archival material, artifacts, and interpretations. Together, it presents a comprehensive account of a young scientist whose brief but meteoric career led the way to a new understanding of nature and has shaped the future of chemistry and physics ever since.<br> &#160;</div>
