Summary: new paradigms
Comment: It is astonishing to see that Hans Ruesch is included in this august list of writers and thinkers - which covers the thoughts of people such as Stendhal, Keats, Shaw, Malthus, Baldwin, Orwell, de Beauvoir, Toynbee, Herodotus, Carlyle, Whitman, Kennedy, Darwin, Kolata, Heyerdahl, Hoyle, Plato, Scriptures in Hinduism, the Prophet Mohammad, St Matthew Parables, Darrow, Sartre, Aristotle, Ruskin, Flaubert, Rothstein, de Mille, Berger - because so much has been done, for decades, in all sections of the anglophone media in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the US, to stifle/suppress/ignore what Hans Ruesch has to say; whereas the company in which he has been placed is so widely known and read that one only needs to mention their surnames, as it were.[...]BR>
This isn't just any old book. It is targeted at the possibly great thinkers of the future, mainly those in universities, from freshman to postgraduate. That is not to say that great thinkers are only to be found in universities, as you will note from the list of names in this book: In rightly adding Hans Ruesch's name to 'Ideas That Changed The World', the authors have 'un-suppressed' him. They have, indeed, quoted some 10 pages from "Slaughter of the Innocent", his meticulously researched most famous oeuvre for genuine antivivisectionists. The faux anti-vivisectionists also did/still do a hatchet job on him, yet the 'innocent' in the title are humans and animals, both.
<[...]P>Kudos to the authors for this inclusion.
