Abstract
This is a Modern History Curriculum Package and essay, an exhaustive, source-grounded analysis of the 131 foundational thinkers catalogued in Dr. Neville Buch’s formal document, List of Influencers on Dr Buch’s Work. Operating across two primary epochal groupings—Contemporary and Old 20th Century—and spanning disciplines including Anthropology, Australian and Regional Historiography, Education, Ethics, Intellectual History, Socio-Political Philosophy, Sociology, and Studies-in-Religion, these thinkers collectively constitute the intellectual genealogy of Buch’s applied methodology.
