Short biographical studies of outstanding Jewish individual contributors to the wellbeing of Mankind,
By
This review is from: The Jewish Contribution to the Modern World (Paperback)
I very much like the idea of the book. I also like the fact that King chooses people from a wide variety of areas of work. He does not give short shrift to the scientific and technical people. He also tries to place each individual and the contribution they make in some kind of wider context. However I would have preferred that the individual entries be longer and more detailed. The entry for instance on Einstein is unsatisfactory and does not give any real sense of his many contributions to scientific work. There were also people omitted who I believe belong in the book.
Nonetheless as a general book, and one whose aim is to highlight the contributions Jews have made to Mankind, I believe this to be a valuable work. |
