In these wars the planet earth participated too.

Harmony or stability in the celestial and terrestrial spheres is the point of departure of the present-day concept of the the world as expressed in the celestial mechanics of Newton and the theory of evolution of Darwin....This book is written for the instructed and the uninstructed alike.
