Rethink: The Surprising History of New Ideas
by Steven Poole
#UM3032
Hardcover, 342 pages; 2016
$26.00
The story of human understanding is…a wild roller-coaster ride
full of loops and switchbacks. We tend to think of the past as less
intellectually evolved than the present, and in many respects it is.
Yet what if the past contained not only muddle and error but also
startling truths that were never appreciated at the time? Well, it
turns out that it does.
“Old is the new new”
in this exuberant exploration of ideas and
innovation.
Guardian
columnist Steven Poole celebrates the advances
made when we resurrect, reconsider, revise—
rethink
—old theories
and concepts that floundered or fell out of favor. From electric cars (the
first was built in 1837) to medicinal leeches (which are now FDA approved for skin grafts and
body part reattachment operations), many modern marvels have long, twisty histories. What fun
for creative minds!
