EBOOK [P.D.F] The Knowledge Book: Everything You Need to Know to Get by in the 21st Century [Full]

Book Description
Indispensable for every home, library, and office, The Knowledge Book distills thousands of
years of humankind’s most significant ideas and achievements— explains how they are linked
and why they are important—and packs everything into a single, irresistibly readable volume. The
richly illustrated pages burst with essential facts from all major fields of knowledge: science,
technology, philosophy, art, religion, economics, and more. Loaded with cross-referencing, fact
boxes, and other helpful features, the book is topically organized into five sections: Earth and
Space; Mathematics and the Sciences; Politics and Economics; Religion, Philosophy, and
Psychology; and the Arts. An introductory spread opens each section, summarizing its biggest
ideas and discoveries. Time lines and fact boxes place events in the context of history, while
sidebars add interesting details on processes, inventions, and artistic techniques. Famous
personalities are introduced in highlighted columns. Finally, each section ends with a notation that
lists the major issues to be resolved in our day. Color-coded tabs guide readers through the book
and support this innovative and accessible approach. More than a thousand vibrant images
captivate readers who enjoy visual learning and function as a colorful catalog of essential
knowledge.
