Paperback. Condición: Fair. What do the Hubble Telescope, Buffalo Bill, and the Spanish Inquisition have in common, and how is the answer found in a certain fast food chain? How do margarine's strange origins tie in to plankton shells, receding stars, hot chocolate, and the first solo Atlantic flight? Continuing the fascinating journey he began in THE PINBALL EFFECT, James Burke shows how seemingly unrelated ideas and innovations bounce off each other, spinning a vast web of knowledge. Burke explains how the Internet is responsible for bringing these connections to light and claims this new awareness of our interdependence, with each other and with the past, will change our lives. Taking Burke's webbed approach to knowledge is one way that we can manage our information overload as we approach the ever-more-complex world that awaits us in the Twenty-First Century. Only by understanding the interrelated nature of the modern world can we hope to identify complex patterns of change and direct the process of innovation to the common good.…

Condición: Very Good. : En 'The Knowledge Web', James Burke, el aclamado autor y presentador de la serie documental 'Connections', nos guía en un fascinante recorrido por los hilos interconectados del conocimiento a lo largo de la historia occidental. Con una narrativa ingeniosa y reveladora, Burke demuestra cómo ideas e innovaciones aparentemente inconexas se entrelazan para formar una vasta red interactiva, donde conceptos tan dispares como la ópera 'Carmen' y la teoría de la relatividad, o el embotellado de champán y el diseño de papel tapiz, encuentran puntos de unión sorprendentes.Este libro desglosa conceptos complejos de manera accesible para todo tipo de lectores, desde estudiantes hasta académicos. A través de un viaje que abarca casi doscientos puntos interconectados en la historia del saber, la obra no solo instruye, sino que también nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestra interdependencia con el pasado y entre nosotros mismos, subrayando la importancia de comprender estas relaciones para dirigir la innovación hacia el bien común.
