Experienced freethought historian, Bill Cooke has written the first history of the Rationalist Press Association (RPA), delving deeply into its archives to tell a fascinating and illuminating story. Its Honorary Associates have included such luminaries of the 20th century as Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, J. B. S. Haldane, Julian Huxley, Somerset Maugham, Bertrand Russell, H. G. Wells, and others. This scholarly yet highly readable and witty history of the RPA will be welcomed by all who value reason as humanity's best hope for the future.
Bill Cooke, an independent scholar, is author of A Dictionary of Atheism, Skepticism, and Humanism; The Gathering of Infidels: A Hundred Years of the Rationalist Press Association; and A Rebel to His Last Breath: Joseph McCabe and Rationalism, among other books and articles. He was also senior lecturer at the School of Visual Arts, University of Auckland at Manukau from 1996 to 2008.
