Utopias and Utopians: An Historical Dictionary of Attempts to Make the World a Better Place and Those Who Were Involved

Richard C.S. Trahair, "Utopias and Utopians: An Historical Dictionary of Attempts to Make the World a Better Place and Those Who Were Involved"
English | 1998 | pages: 496 | ISBN: 1579581641 | PDF | 11,8 mb

Utopian ventures are worth close attention, to help us understand why some succeed and others fail, for they offer hope for an improved life on earth. Utopias and Utopians is a comprehensive guide to utopian communities and their founders. Some works look at literary utopias or political utopias, etc., and others examine the utopias of only one country: this work examines utopias from antiquity to the present and surveys utopian efforts around the world. Of more than 600 alphabetically arranged entries roughly half are descriptions of utopian ventures; the other half are biographies of those who were involved. Entries are followed by a list of sources and a general bibliography concludes the volume.
