Russell, the sage non-conformist, is always meaningful, no matter what the topic or the issue. In this small book are presented some of his old but nonetheless remarkable observations, and some of his very new thoughts, as expressed on his 90th birthday. Here are titles, taken at random from the Table of Contents: Psychoanalysis Takes a Look; Envy and Belief; On Male Superiority; What Social Science Can Do; Intellectual Rubbish; Don¿t Be Too Certain; On Being Old.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a mathematician, philosopher, pacifist, and winner of the 1950 Nobel Prize for literature. As a president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, he opposed war and nuclear weapons and also advocated world government and peacemaking. The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation was created in 1963 and it publishes a journal, 'The Spokesman'.

Having had the doubtful privilege of living at the age of Hitler and Stalin, this great atheist philosopher tells us that "there is no limit to the absurdities that can, by government action, come to be generally believed". Today we shall have to add newspapers, television and the internet.
Looking back with Bertrand Russell on some historical examples of sheer rubbish that has lead people to kill or die ("witches ", for instance, or racism) is enough to make you beware of fanatic believers for the rest of your life.
Those who have never read him before should know that this is English essay writing at its best: with perfect ease, precise and clear, and full of witty sarcasms.
90 pages that might become the foundation of your own skeptical world-view.
