A History of Knowledge: Past, Present, and Future Paperback - 1992
by Charles Van Doren
First line
BY THE TIME written history began, some fifty centuries ago, mankind had learned much more than our primitive ancestors knew.
From the jacket flap
A one-voume reference to the history of ideas that is a compendium of everything that humankind has thought, invented, created, considered, and perfected from the beginning of civilization into the twenty-first century. Massive in its scope, and yet totally accessible, A HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE covers not only all the great theories and discoveries of the human race, but also explores the social conditions, political climates, and individual men and women of genius that brought ideas to fruition throughout history.
"Crystal clear and concise...Explains how humankind got to know what it knows."Clifton Fadiman
Selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club and the History Book Club
