Description:
London England: Heinemann, 1961. Hardback. First Edition. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Slight browning to spine of D/J. It is a fascinating account of man's scientific achievements from the earliest times and a challenging reappraisal of some of the most pressing questions of today. With a welath of detail, much of it derived from personal, on-the-spot investigation of centres of civilisation from the Equator to the Arctic, the author traces the development of man, the tool-maker, the technologist, from prehistory to the present day, and makes an excursion into the future. He tells how in ancient times man by his ingenuity and skills gained control of his environment and how the limitations of his knowledge, as well as his excesses, destroyed the civilisations which he thus created.

This book is a lively, informative…
