How do you keep up in the age of information when there's so much to know and so little time?

Now you can get to the bottom of the big bang theory; find out where Freud's ideas were coming from, and where Einstein's may ultimately take us; demystify surrealism and survivalism, nature and nurture, communism and capitalism. With hundreds of in-depth entries, drawn from a wide range of fields—including religion, philosophy, psychology, economics, politics, history, art, literature, and science—A World of Ideas enables you to turn immediately to the term in question for a comprehensive description of its history, meaning, and context.

- Reviewed and approved by an academic board of leading scholars
- A unique emphasis on multicultural influences and the long-neglected impact of women on the history of ideas
- An extensive bibliography of further readings and resources
