Excerpt from The Jewish Contribution to Civilization To anyone capable of harboring thoroughgoing anti Semitism - a group prejudice, that is, directed against a whole race of human beings - this book is probably too intelligent to make an effective appeal. Such vulgar and barbarian race prejudice is not only without rootage in anthropology, without support in the social sciences, and incredible to normal men and women; it is, from the standpoint of morals, one of the most debasing of human attitudes. As H. G. Wells has written, I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice, none at all. I write deliberately - it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Events in Europe have terribly validated this judgment, and in America the repercussions of foreign anti-semitism are too frequent and menacing to be neglected.

Excerpt from The American Jewish Times-Outlook, Vol. 18: September 1952 The sources OF western civilization: It has become ai most a platitude to say that the Greeks gave the Western World art; the Romans, law; and the Jews, religion. Like so many generaliza tions it is neither complete nor in disputable. Nevertheless, it is roughly true. The Jewish contribution is the most important component of our Western civilization: Judea con tributed a humane evaluation of man, an understanding of his place in the universe and a formulation of his proper relationship to God. In the hub of our Western heritage is the idea of the basic integrity and sacredness of the individual man. That idea is derived not from science or pragmatic philosophy; it is derived from the belief in God, Creator and Father. Of a common humanity.

Excerpt from The Pulse of Progress: Including a Sketch of Jewish History Three primary considerations have led to the writing of this book. The first is the modern movement for setting forth the re sults of scientific research, not only in technical publications, but in clear, interesting, and non-technical form without the eucum brance of references, footnotes, and details of proof. The second is the frequently expressed opinion of a number of friends that the ideas as to man and his environment which I have set forth in a dozen books ought to be summarized in a single volume. In the third place, some one ought soon to write a history of human progress which will take full account of recent advances in our knowledge of human geography, ethnography, economics, soci ology, and biology. As a preparation for this, it seems highly de sirable that persons who have original ideas along these lines should set them forth in such a way that they can be subjected to criticism. At first the plan was to limit the book strictly to the three purposes named above. As usually happens, however, the prog ress of the work soon led to the addition of new material in order to round out the subject. Chapters II, III, and IV present the results of new investigations made especially for this book. Other new material is scattered in smaller bits elsewhere. Chap ters V to X are mainly a restatement, rearrangement, and revision of material published during the last twenty years in the books and articles mentioned in the list preceding the index. It has not seemed necessary or advisable to use quotation-marks, al though sections oi as much as two or three pages have, in some cases, been taken, almost unchanged, from some of the books. The source, however, is indicated in all such cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
