This book changed my life.

Very Comprehensive! I'm intrigued and inspired. Gives Perspective to modern discoveries through historical reflection

We both loved this book.

Great history overview. Really gets you thinking about the how and why of what we take for granted, such as travel, time, work, etc.

Love this book.

Boorstin's exploration of the development of mankind is riveting and insightful. This is a book that needs to be kept and read over and over again. Every time I notice something new. . .

A fantastic compendium of man's growth and exploration throughout the centuries. It makes one want to take a Grand Tour just to see much of what is described in these pages.

Great book! Really helped me understand the history of knowledge, and I don't just mean what one could learn in school. I was particularly fascinated by what the Greeks developed.
