All the Knowledge in the World
Author: Simon Garfield
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson
ISBN: 9781474610797
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
'Witty and geekily eclectic' The Times An erudite and amusing exploration' Financial Times 'Full of jawdropping facts' Mail on Sunday 'Remarkable . . . engrossing' Sunday Times 'A pleasure' Spectator 'An infectiously enthusiastic history' Times Literary Supplement The encyclopaedia once shaped our understanding of the world. Now these huge books sell for almost nothing on eBay while we derive information from our phones. What have we lost in this transition? All the Knowledge in the World tracks the story from Ancient Greece to Wikipedia, from modest single-volumes to the 11,000-volume Chinese manuscript that was too big to print. It exposes how encyclopaedias reflect our changing attitudes towards sexuality, race and technology, uncovers a fascinating part of our shared past and wonders whether the promise of complete knowledge - that most human of ambitions - will forever be beyond our grasp.
