A wise and witty compendium of the greatest thoughts, greatest
minds, and greatest books of all time -- listed in accessible and
succinct form -- by one of the world's greatest scholars.
From the "Hundred Best Books" to the "Ten Greatest Thinkers" to
the "Ten Greatest Poets," here is a concise collection of the
world's most significant knowledge. For the better part of a
century, Will Durant dwelled upon -- and wrote about -- the most
significant eras, individuals, and achievements of human history.
His selections have finally been brought together in a single,
compact volume. Durant eloquently defends his choices of the
greatest minds and ideas, but he also stimulates readers into
forming their own opinions, encouraging them to shed their
surroundings and biases and enter "The Country of the Mind," a
timeless realm where the heroes of our species dwell.
From a thinker who always chose to exalt the positive in the
human species, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time
stays true to Durant's optimism. This is a book containing the
absolute best of our heritage, passed on for the benefit of future
generations. Filled with Durant's renowned wit, knowledge, and
unique ability to explain events and ideas in simple and exciting
terms, this is a pocket-size liberal arts and humanist curriculum
in one volume.
