The Little Book of Great Ideas by Stephen Blake
The Little Book of Great Ideas combines history with contemporary culture in a celebration of everything from the trivial-yet-trendy to philosophical thought. Whether you need to know who invented the frisbee or the premises of postmodernism, you need look no further than this one handy volume, packed with information on nearly every great idea ever. Ideas usually taken too seriously receive light-hearted treatment, and fun crazes get the respect they deserve in The Little Book of Great Ideas. Combining in-depth, reliable research with an anarchic approach to history, it's a perfect present for trivia fans. Part dictionary, part handbook, this title is both a romp though some of the greatest conceptions of all time and a guide to influential inventions and historical figures. Was Alexander Fleming really the discoverer of penicillin, or Brian Epstein the discoverer of The Beatles? And what have early crystal radio sets got in common with modern electronic wristwatches? If you want to find out, you know where to look!| SKU | Unavailable |
