In this fascinating foray into the centuries-old relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer-researcher Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. "The overlap is strong, and the knowledge flows in both directions," say the authors, because  astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same things: multi- spectral detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion, and access to space. Tyson and Lang call it a "curiously complicit" alliance. Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, Accessory to War is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power that will introduce Tyson's millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our world."--Provided by publisher. 0aAstronautics, MilitaryzUnited States.911501 0aAstrophysicszUnited States.940553 0aMilitary researchzUnited States.9146161 0aMilitary art and sciencezTechnological innovationsxHistory.9146162 0aScience and statezUnited States.91461631 aLang, Avis,eauthor.938356  2ddccBK  c52162d52162  00102ddc4070aBPATCbBPATCcGRRd2020-12-01l0o355.0152301 TYA 2018p111745r2020-12-01 00:00:00yBK
