    The Pulse of Progress, Including a Sketch of Jewish History
    • This book is driven by three main considerations. Firstly, it aims to present scientific research findings in a clear, engaging manner, free from the burden of references and technical jargon. Secondly, it responds to suggestions from friends to consolidate the author's ideas about humanity and its environment into a single volume. Lastly, there is a need for a comprehensive history of human progress that incorporates recent advancements in human geography, ethnography, economics, sociology, and biology. Initially, the book was intended to focus solely on these objectives, but as the writing progressed, additional material was included to enhance the subject matter. Chapters II, III, and IV feature new investigations conducted specifically for this work, while Chapters V to X consist of a reorganization and revision of previously published content from the last two decades. Although some sections are taken almost verbatim from earlier works, the sources are acknowledged. This book is a reproduction of a significant historical work, and Forgotten Books employs advanced technology to digitally reconstruct it, preserving the original format while addressing imperfections. Any remaining flaws are intentionally retained to maintain the integrity of the historical text.
