Publisher's Notes
'The Discoverers' is a vivid, sweeping, and original history of man's greatest adventure: his search to discover the world around him--the relationship of the heavens to his own planet, the elusive and mysterious dimension of time, the vast and colorful range of plants and animals, the intricate workings of his own body, the surprising variety of human societies past and present--by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Americans, now the Librarian of Congress.

Acid Tongues and Tranquil Dreamers
by Michael White
When we consider the Herculean figures on the long road to reason and the contributions they have made to our modern worldview, it is only natural to wonder what drove them, what led them to discover. Indeed, it makes us question the very meaning of discovery itself. In so many ways scientists and the natural philosophers who preceded them have much in common with artists, musicians, writers -- creators, forward thinkers and, often, rivals. Rivalry is a reflection of humanity and as human culture has changed, so too has the guise of rivalry. In simpler times, scientists pitted their wits to reveal nature and sometimes also to expose what they believe to be falsity in their competitors. As science became public property it was used by the governments who represented entire nations. Beyond the tales of personal bitterness of some scientific rivalry we must consider what comes from these battlefields. And it seems the overwhelming effect has been to propel science forward. Be it a priority race, nationalistic fervor, personal hatred, or any combination of these, competition has done much to advance our understanding of the universe. Acid Tongues and Tranquil Dreamers covers a long history of scientific rivalry, and encompasses a diverse collection of disciplines and rivalries (personal, national, and industrial). Whatever form it takes and however it may be transmogrified, rivalry exists in every lab, in every corner of the world, and in every age. It has spurred great minds on to world-altering breakthroughs in science and technology; in Acid Tongues and Tranquil Dreamers, Michael White illuminates the bitterness and the beauty, the genius and the humanity behind eight such breakthroughs.

Discoverers: A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself
Boorstin, Daniel J
00114: Vintage Books, 1985 Light shelf wear, pages slightly toned. "An original history of man's greatest adventure: his search to discover the world around him." "In Boorstin's 1983 bestseller The Discoverers , the achievements of Galileo, Columbus, Darwin, Gutenberg and Freud emerged as upwellings of creativity and courage, ingenious acts of revolt against ingrained habit. This richly illustrated two-volume edition reveals the world as known to the discovers themselves. We see the tools of discovery--Egyptian obelisks, early clocks, Leeuwenhoek's microscope, Mercator's maps, botanical drawings from James Cook's voyages--and glimpse the social, cultural and political background, made concrete in 550 pictures including paintings, sculpture, engravings and architecture. A photograph of 15th-century cast bronze type from Korea underscores an Eastern invention that could have changed the course of printing, perhaps of science and culture. In a feast for the mind and eye, itself a delightful adventure in discovery, Boorstin, librarian of Congress emeritus, profiles--and places in context--scores of innovators who broke with dogma and tradition." -- Publishers Weekly CONTENTS: A Personal Note to the Reader; TIME: THE HEAVENLY EMPIRE: The Temptations of the Moon; The Week: Gateway to Science; God and the Astrologers; FROM SUN TIME TO CLOCK TIME: Measuring the Dark Hours; The Rise of the Equal Hour; Making Time Portable; THE MISSIONARY CLOCK: Open Sesame to China; Mother of Machines; Why It Happened in the West; THE EARTH AND THE SEAS: THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE IMAGINATION: The Awe of Mountains; Charting Heaven and Hell; The Appeal of Symmetry; The Prison of Christian Dogma; A Flat Earth Returns; PATHS TO THE EAST: Pilgrims and Crusaders; How the Mongols Opened the Way; Missionary Diplomats; The Discovery of Asia; The Land Curtain Comes Down; DOUBLING THE WORLD: Ptolemy Revived and Revised; Portuguese Sea Pioneers; Beyond the Threatening Cape; To India and Back; Why Not the Arabs?; The Chinese Reach Out; An Empire without Wants; THE AMERICAN SURPRISE: The Wandering Vikings; Dead End in Vinland; The Power of the Winds; "The Enterprise of the Indies"; Fair Winds, Soft Words, and Luck; Paradise Found and Lost; Naming the Unknown; SEA PATHS TO EVERYWHERE: A World of Oceans; The Reign of Secrecy; Knowledge Becomes Merchandise; The Ardors of Negative Discovery; NATURE: SEEING THE INVISIBLE: Into "the Mists of Paradox"; The Witness of the Naked Eye; A Vision Troubled and Surprised; Caught in the Cross Fire; New Worlds Within; Galileo in China; INSIDE OURSELVES: A Mad Prophet Points the Way; The Tyranny of Galen; From Animals to Man; Unseen Currents Within; From Qualities to Quantities; "The Microscope of Nature"; SCIENCE GOES PUBLIC: A Parliament of Scientists; From Experience to Experiment; "God Said, Let Newton Be!"; Priority Becomes the Prize; CATALOGUING THE WHOLE CREATION: Learning to Look; The Investion of Species; Specimen Hunting; Stretching the Past; In Search of the Missing Link; Paths to Evolution; SOCIETY: WIDENING THE COMMUNITIES OF KNOWLEDGE: The Lost Arts of Memory; Empire of the Learned; The Duplicating Impulse; "The Art of Artificial Writing"; Communities of the Vernacular; Transforming the Book; Books Go Public; The Island of Islam; Toward a World Literature; OPENING THE PAST: The Birth of History; Christianity Gives Direction; Revising the Record; Explorers among the Ruins; "To Wake the Dead"; Latitudes of Time; The Discovery of Prehistory; Hidden Dimensions: History as Therapy; SURVEYING THE PRESENT: "All Mankind Is One"; The Shock of the Primitive; A Science of Culture; An Expanding Universe of Wealth; Learning from Numbers; The Infinite and the Infinitesimal; Some Reference Notes; Acknowledgements; Index..

The Discoverers (Vintage) [Paperback] by Boorstin, Daniel J
Daniel J. Boorstin
Vintage, 1985-02-12. Paperback. Good. Softcover, First Vantage Books Edition, 1985. A history of man's search to know his world and himself. Perhaps the greatest book by one of our greatest historians, The Discoverers is a volume of sweeping range and majestic interpretation. To call it a history of science is an understatement; this is the story of how humankind has come to know the world, however incompletely ("the eternal mystery of the world," Einstein once said, "is its comprehensibility"). Daniel J. Boorstin first describes the liberating concept of time--"the first grand discovery"--and continues through the age of exploration and the advent of the natural and social sciences. (Excerpt from editorial review.) All pages are clean. Book is in excellent shape; pages are tight, binding is good. NOTE: Pages are lightly tanned. In stock and ready to ship.
