The black boards are in good condition (bumped corners, lightly faded and bumped spine). 9 ½ x 6 ½, 341 pages, 28 ounces XX [From Wikipedia] Langdon-Davies' man and his universe (1930) was a history of humanity's scientific views, covering the period from Ancient Greece to Einstein. XX John Eric Langdon-Davies MBE (18 March 1897 - 5 December 1971) was a British author and journalist. He was a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and the Soviet-Finnish War. As a result of his experiences in Spain, he founded the Foster Parents' Scheme for refugee children in Spain, which is now the aid Organisation Plan International. Author of books on military, scientific, historical and Spanish (including Catalan) subjects, Langdon-Davies has been described as an accomplished war correspondent and a brilliant popularizer of science and technology. Langdon-Davies was born in Eshowe, Zululand (now in South Africa) in 1897. He was the son of the teacher Guy Langdon-Davies (died 1900), who described himself as a Huxleyan, a Voltairean and a Tolstoyan pacifist. Langdon-Davies came to England at the age of six and attended Yardley Park prep school and Tonbridge School (he disliked the latter intensely). His first published work was an article entitled The Hermit Crab, which appeared on the young people's page of The Lady in 1910. In 1917, he published The Dream Splendid, a book of poetry inspired by the beauty of nature. When called up in 1917 he declared himself a conscientious objector and refused to wear uniform. This resulted in a short term in prison before being given a medical discharge. He intended to continue his academic career at St John's College, Oxford, but one of his three scholarships was removed consequent upon his military record. Another, tenable only by a single man, was removed when he married Constance Scott, a history graduate from Somerville College, in 1918. The resulting financial situation forced him to abandon his university career, which ended with a diploma in anthropology and history. In 1919 Langdon-Davies wrote Militarism in Education, published by Headley Brothers, a study of the effect of the militarist and nationalist content of various educational systems. He stressed the importance of environment and early influences in the education of the young, compared with heredity. He also made his first visit to Catalonia, after which, in 1921, he and Connie, with their two small sons, settled for more than two years in the Pyrenean village of Ripoll, where he met groups of left-wing intellectuals and Catalan nationalists. He lived in New York between 1925 and 1926, during which time he wrote The New Age of Faith, a book of scientific popularization. In it, he attacked the pseudoscientists whose books were so popular in the US, particularly advocates of racial superiority.

He was a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and the Russo-Finnish war. As a result of his experiences in Spain, he founded the Foster Parents' Scheme for refugee children in Spain, now a huge international organisation called Plan. He was awarded the MBE for services to the Home Guard. Author of books on military, scientific, historical and Spanish (including Catalan) subjects, Langdon-Davies has been described as "an accomplished war correspondent" and "a brilliant popularizer of science and technology". Langdon-Davies came to England at the age of six and attended Yardley Park Prep school and Tonbridge School (he disliked the latter intensely). His first published work was an article entitled "The Hermit Crab", which appeared on the young people's page of The Lady in 1910.

Another, tenable only by a single man, was removed when he married Constance Scott in 1918. The resulting financial situation forced him to abandon his university career, which ended with a diploma in anthropology and history. In 1919 Langdon-Davies wrote Militarism in Education, published by Headley Brothers, a study of the effect of the militarist and nationalist content of various educational systems. In 1924 he began a series of lecture tours in the US, speaking to women's associations and universities on history, literature and his own work. He also spent a year living in New York between 1925 and 1926, during which time he wrote The New Age of Faith, a book of scientific popularisation, published by the Viking Press …. In it, he heartily attacked the pseudoscientists whose books were so popular in the US, particularly advocates of racial superiority, such as Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard, whom Langdon-Davies described as "Race Fiends". That provoked a number of counterattacks, pointing out that Langdon-Davies himself was not a professional scientist. Most of the 60 or more published reviewers were in agreement with John Bakeless, who wrote that "rarely has popular science been written with such spicy impertinence, such gay insouciance, or with so much intelligence and such scrupulous regard for facts.".
