Abstract
IT would be a thousand pities if the misleadingly modest title of this little book, and its inclusion in a series where it is a manifest misfit, were to prevent behaving the widest possible circulation. It might perhaps more aptly have been called "Cold Water on Hot Springs". It is one of those rare books that combines science with humanity, that marries a passion for justice and human rights with a hard logic that faces facts. It is a much, if not more, a book for the expert as for the non-scientific inquirer.
