Review

[This] is a remarkable achievement, covering nearly five centuries of Western ideas, symbols, and metaphors - all brought, sometimes dazzlingly, within the revolutionary fold. - Robert Nisbet, New York Times Book Review; ""I guarantee that anybody with the slightest interest in the way the world we live in is organised, or disorganised, will find much to amaze, to enlighten, even to amuse in this astounding stew of western humanity's hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares, deceit and delusion."" - J. W. Lambert, Sunday Times (London)
