Ideas That Changed The World Book ->>> http://shurll.com/9hzkd
Anything left of center is dismissed as "unrealistic" or "dangerous" or "vague and spineless." To be fair, he doesn't like fascism much, either.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the book is the quirky choices of illustrationsWhat I didn't realize was that my iPod was set on shuffle! So instead of this orderly progression of ideas through the ages I had to take them as I got them.which made for an exercise in concentrationThat aside, I thought the way in which it was done was very goodThe breadth and scope of ideas covered is another nice feature, however, some ideas (such as those on fascism and national superiority) tend to be overlapping and can become tediousIt's a somewhat cursory examination which is both a blessing and a burden.From cannibalism to Zen, from time to the unconscious, from pure logic to the chaos theory.The 'idea' behind this book is as remarkable as it is refreshing

All-in-all though I would recommend it as a good refresher book or something suitable to get your thinking cap onI was most impressed with the idea of the computer in 1833 but never finished since it needed the power of electricity and government fundingAn example of this is where as the DK ancient history things may show paintings or pottery shards, this Ideas book opens with the evidence of cannibalism in very early humans and what that might indicate for those people above and beyond a simple need for foodflag Like see review Discoveries and inventions, economic systems and politic movements, our contact with people, animals and daily objects: all find their birth in an original ideaI love that this book focuses on overreaching concepts rather than details for each era (predestination, chivalry, civil disobedience, etc) but in a brief enough scope that the student can understand it for the era but not be overwhelmed and stuck on that topic aloneMy son will undoubtedly enjoy the video games pages, but I, myself, liked learning about early cementOriana Van Vlaanderen rated it it was ok Apr 19, 2015 All rights reservedHyle rated it it was amazing Oct 22, 2009 . 8ca7aef5cf
