Bearing Structure

The application of physics to the search for minerals and especially for petroleum began in earnest after the first World War. As Weatherby has stated in his excellent paper on The History and Development of Seismic Prospecting (1940) “the stage had been carefully set and the players were ready to perform their new roles as prospectors.” Minthrop in Germany and Karcher, Hasemann, Eckhardt, and McCullom in this country were considering the use of artificial seismic waves in finding oil‐bearing structure. Ferdinand Suess in Hungary was building Eötvös torsion balances and the Askania Company in Germany was constructing torsion balances and magnetometers.

Bernard Bosanquet spent the First World War at his cottage in Oxshott, in Surrey, and from here he measured the implications of the conflict for his philosophy of the state. The result of this reflection is available to us in the letters which he wrote during the war, and a variety of lectures and papers. His ideas, therefore, have a general interest to students of international theory.

The Way

The book delineates the emergence of a unitary state from the bedrock of a nation formed over centuries. It retraces the major advances in the integration between the state and civil society achieved in the first fifty years after unification, and the disastrous consequences wrought by the First World War and by Fascism. It underscores the way in which the post-war democratic revival rewound the virtuous process of construction of a state capable of expressing the Italian "plural nation". Despite this, it also stresses the way in which the ethical deterioration and the corruption of the political and administrative class that came to a head during the last twenty years of the twentieth century have again brought to the fore the problem of the construction of shared institutions.
