Condizione: Very Good+. Other than a tiny mark on the lower text block, this is a tight and unmarked copy-" The extraordinary story of the 20th century, as told from the furthest fringes of science, art, and culture. For readers of Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Before 1900, history was an account of great discov…eries that actually made sense. People understand innovations like the steam engine, agriculture, or electricity. The twentieth century, by contrast, gave us quantum entanglement, cubism, relativity, psychedelics, post-modernism, chaos maths, and the Somme. This is the story of that confusing century as told through the ideas produced at the furthest fringes of our sciences, arts, and culture. Its cast includes well-known geniuses such as Albert Einstein, Francis Crick, and Pablo Picasso, lesser-known geniuses like Edward Lorenz, Sergey Korolyov, or Shigeru Miyamoto, and infamous but influential ne'er-do-wells like Timothy Leary, Aleister Crowley, and Keith Richards. In this company, we take a tour through ideas as strange as general relativity, DNA, the subconscious, Gaia theory, and Dada. In this brilliantly written and original book, John Higgs explores, with great clarity and wit, the extremes of twentieth-century thought, and in doing so shows how a world of empires became a world of individuals. You will never see the twentieth century in the same way again.".
