Resumen
Lewis F Richardson, a physicist by training, remains a towering presence
in two academic subjects, meteorology and peace research. Prizes are named for
him in both fields. This chapter introduces a collection of articles assessing
Richardson’s legacy and his enduring influence in the social sciences. It reviews his
citations as an indication of the range of his influence and discusses his impact in
five areas of social science: the study of arms races, data collection on deadly
quarrels, the stability of the long peace, the role of geography in conflict, and the
role of mathematics in peace studies. It also includes a brief discussion of the
conscience of a scholar with regard to preparations for war
