Title: Ideas that Changed the World
Description: Dorling Kindersley, 2003. Hardcover. Pp: 400. Authoritative, Compelling, provocative: internationally respected historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto introduces you to the key historical and philosophical notions that have shaped our world since the dawn of civilization. Over 175 of the world's most pivotal ideas are crystallized and clearly explained - from cannibalism to zen, from time to the unconscious, from logic to chaos theory.
