Major Publication
In 1990, Breese published Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave (ISBN 0-8024-8449-2). The seven men he highlighted are:
- Charles Darwin, who systematized and advanced the principle that evolution was behind the origin of the species.
- Karl Marx, who developed and advocated the notion of modern Communism.
- Julius Wellhausen, who initiated "higher criticism" and "modernism."
- John Dewey, who argued for an educational system focused on problem solving and the growth of the child in all aspects of his being.
- Sigmund Freud, who promoted the view that the sexual instinct is the driving force behind all human action.
- John Maynard Keynes, who advocated the policies for reducing unemployment and expanding the economy that today find their expression in deficit spending and governmental activism.
- Søren Kierkegaard, who stressed the obligation each person has to make conscious, responsible choices among alternatives, a major tenet of existentialism.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or publication:
“Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
