About this product

Product Information

An original history of man's greatest adventure: his search to discover the world around him. In the compendious history, Boorstin not only traces man's insatiable need to know, but also the obstacles to discovery and the illusion that knowledge can also put in our way. Covering time, the earth and the seas, nature and society, he gathers and analyzes stories of the man's profound quest to understand his world and the cosmos.

  • A history of invention

    A mass of research and detail on human inventiveness and ingenuity down the ages, written in a non academic way for the general reader. Boorstin wears his erudition and knowledge lightly without patronising or talking down to his readers. It's an historical adventure story of the mind, leading us from ancient times to the present, and showing us how we got from then to now.
