A collection of essays by C.S. Lewis. On Living in the Atomic Age is one essay within the book that is a must read.

Key Quote = "Those who care for something else more than civilization are the only people by whom civilization is at all likely to be preserved. Those who want Heaven most have served Earth best." ( )
