Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Open any page and fall into discovery: ingenious contrivances, curious customs, and plain-spoken explanations of the world. A world of facts awaits.Robert Sears assembled The Guide To Knowledge as a general knowledge encyclopedia for the Victorian home: a repertory of facts drawn from science, literature, and art, arranged for browsing as much as for reference. Part popular science compendium, part conversational cabinet, it serves up science facts and curiosities beside sketches of invention, geography, history, and everyday arts. Dip in for educational trivia and facts; stay for the satisfaction of seeing ideas connected across literature art and science. Whether you consult it for a quick answer or read it for sheer enjoyment, the entries reflect a confident belief that knowledge should be practical, shareable, and pleasantly told.First published in 19th century America, Sears's work belongs to the great tradition of household cyclopedia readers and the democratic learning movement that also produced Chambers Information for the People. Its brisk, practical tone captures how Victorian era nonfiction brought knowledge to parlours, classrooms, and curious minds, making it equally appealing to casual readers, vintage-reference enthusiasts, and collectors building a family reference library.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Keep it on the shelf as a homeschool study resource, a browsing companion, and a glimpse into the confident, wide-ranging curiosity of the nineteenth century.…
