"The Cartoon History of Humanism is a brilliant look back at some well known and some obscure trailblazers in humanist history. Anyone interested in where our rationalist seeds where sown and how they bloomed, where crushed, and bloomed again, should pick up a copy of this book now! For the first time in my life I actually understand what a long and rich legacy we base our humanist ideals upon. The Cartoon History of Humanism is an educational and fulfilling read that not only appeals to those in search of easy to grasp historical knowledge-but those in search of art and humor. What a wonderful combination!" -Amy Davis Roth, Skepchick.org contributor "...We can pick up so much knowledge while laughing so hard. I swear, my family banished me to another room for cackling out loud so much while supposedly reviewing this gem." --Stuart Hartill, The Freethinker "From Arnold of Brescia, the man so important you've never heard of him, to Denis Diderot's book, Jacques the Fatalist and His Master-which changed the entire direction of the author's life-this cartoon history of humanism is pure creative genius. DeBakcsy has produced a delightful textbook case in creativity, containing superior research expressed in a concentrated engaging style, with cute cartoons at no extra expense! If readers don't learn something on every page I would be surprised. My only disappointment is I'll have to wait for Volume Two to read more." -John Loftus, author and editor of Christianity Is Not Great and Christianity in Light of Science
