A Universal Language for Mankind: Idirl John Yench

About the book and the authorJohn Yench tackles that grand conception, a universal language for mankind. He has been involved with the printed word all his life, as journalist, correspondent, editor, columnist, and author, as well as TV moderator and host. His interests range to acting and singing in musicals and theater, including a character role in a Hollywood film. Born in Russia during the throes of its revolution, John Yench grew up in China where his career began in the Associated Press and China News. In Asia, he was an organizing founder of the Free Enterprise Society of the Philippines, along with well known national figures that included a President of the Republic, whose daughter is now the current President of the Philippines. While there, he edited the Journal of the American Chamber of Commerce, and formed the Economic Information Service. From 1948 on, he has worked on a universal, self-consistent language, where a word's sound alone would reveal its meaning, without the need of a dictionary. He summarized his ideas in the seventies, acquiring in the process, a Master's Degree at California State University. This book is the compilation of his work since that time.
