This extraordinary saga of human discovery is:
"A new and fascinating approach to history... rich in unknowns and surprises."
-Barbara W. Tuchman
"A ravishing book... [with] a verve, an audacity and a grasp of every sort of knowledge that is outrageous and wonderful...I can't think of any other living writer who could have attempted, let alone accomplished it."
-Alistair Cooke
"An adventure story... great good fun to read."
-The New York Times Book Review
"A grand and exhilarating voyage, a bold attempt to circumnavigate the intellectual globe."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Compellingly readable.. .a remarkable narrative of the grand intellectual venture of humankind, rich in fascinating, often dramatic details."
-The Wall Street Journal
"A sumptuous, totally engaging panorama. No one who reads it will look at the chronicle of human ingenuity in the same way again. Boorstin at its best. Loved all of it."
-David McCullough
"History with the human touch."
-Newsday
"History written in the grand style... I cannot readily recall another book from which I learned so many new things... few indeed will be the readers who do not themselves become discoverers."
-The Washington Post Book World
"Written with great verve... [Boorstin's] learning, wit and lucidity should ensure that he will bring pleasure to a large group of readers."
-The New York Review of Books
