Synopsis:
At the close of the last century of creativity and discovery, humanists and scientists alike wonder: How could human beings in all their brilliance - those "axemakers" with the genius to invent, lead, inspire, heal, design - have brought the world to the brink of destruction? The answers can be found in The Axemaker's Gift, an imaginative and brilliantly informed double-edged history of human culture. James Burke, a leading expert on the interaction of technology and society, and Robert Ornstein, a pioneer in charting the evolution of consciousness, show how the interaction between innovation and the brain has continually reshaped the world and, more important, the way we think.
About the Author: James Burke is a science historian and presenter known for his 1978 documentary series The Connections and the 1985 series The Day the Universe Changed. His other works include The Axemaker's Gift, and American Connections: The Founding Fathers Networked.
