  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
  
  Editorial
Reviews
  From Publishers Weekly
  Van Doren's
provocative, encyclopedic guide to great thinkers, concepts and philosophical trends was a BOMC and History Book Club
selection in cloth.
  
  From Library Journal
  Van Doren, once
editorial director of the Encyclopedia Brittanica , has produced a miniature encyclopedia, organized to show that there
is progress in knowledge. He praises Columbus for giving us "a world well on the way to the unity it experiences today."
India is mentioned as the source of the caste system. The Chinese gave us Confucius, but Van Doren notes their main
legacy seems to be good recipes for tyranny. He warns that some good knowledge is unpleasant: we must now control our
technology. Ultimately, the best knowledge for him is Western scientific knowledge since it is cumulative, meaning that
better theories nearly always replace worse ones. An avid reader of Popular Mechanics who went to sleep in Peoria,
Illinois in 1920 and awoke today with this book in her/his hands would probably find their ideals intact, needing only
new technical knowledge and preparation for Van Doren's predicted revolt of intelligent machines. Van Doren has
distilled the ideology of scientific progress into a neat, short drink that should win him a place on every library
shelf.- Leslie Armour, Univ. of Ottawa, Canada
