Nature invites to commemorate the centenary of World War 1

Commemorate the centenary of World War 1 with this exclusive collection of historical articles originally published in Nature between 1914 and 1918. Reprinted as they would have appeared to readers at the time, Nature at War includes a mix of editorials, news reports, correspondence from readers and book reviews. Some articles offer a glimpse into academic life at the time, there are squabbles about rival departments advertising for staff while many suitable candidates are away at the front line, and grumbles about lack of resources. Other articles describe Nature's take on what we now consider history – the epic Antarctic adventures of Ernest Shackleton, a summary of Einstein's principal of relativity presented just the year before. But perhaps most interesting are the articles that demonstrate just how central science was to the war effort. After Allied troops were gassed for the first time at Ypres, a Nature analysis pinpointed chlorine as a likely culprit; a reader suggests a method to allow ships to signal in secret; and possible therapies for the new problem of 'shell-shock' are discussed. From early analysis of chemical weapons to countering the threat of Zeppelin raids, this anniversary package Nature at War offers unique insight into research during conflict.
