Torrent description
When it was originally published in 1987, An Incomplete Education became a surprise bestseller. Now this instant classic has been completely updated, outfitted with a whole
new arsenal of indispensable knowledge on global affairs, popular culture, economic trends, scientific principles, and modern arts. HereΓÇÖs your chance to brush up on all
those subjects you slept through in school, reacquaint yourself with all the facts you once knew (then promptly forgot), catch up on major developments in the world today,
and become the Renaissance man or woman you always knew you could be!
How do you tell the Balkans from the Caucasus? WhatΓÇÖs the difference between fission and fusion? Whigs and Tories? Shiites and Sunnis? Deduction and induction? Why arenΓÇÖt
all Shakespearean comedies necessarily thigh-slappers? What are transcendental numbers and what are they good for? What really happened in PlatoΓÇÖs cave? Is postmodernism
dead or just having a bad hair day? And for extra credit, when should you use the adjective continual and when should you use continuous?
An Incomplete Education answers these and thousands of other questions with incomparable wit, style, and clarity. American Studies, Art History, Economics, Film,
Literature, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Science, and World History: HereΓÇÖs the bottom line on each of these major disciplines,
distilled to its essence and served up with consummate flair.
In this revised edition youΓÇÖll find a vitally expanded treatment of international issues, reflecting the seismic geopolitical upheavals of the past decade, from
economic free-fall in South America to Central AfricaΓÇÖs world war, and from violent radicalization in the Muslim world to the crucial trade agreements that are defining
globalization for the twenty-first century. And donΓÇÖt forget to read the section A Nervous AmericanΓÇÖs Guide to Living and Loving on Five Continents before you answer
a personal ad in the International Herald Tribune.
