Product Story

This is the book that fosters a well-rounded education of 100 scholarly topics through lessons that are easily read and understood in two hours. Written by the New York Times, the book has 52 sections-each one easily digested over a weekend-that cover essential knowledge in fields that include history, literature, religion, science, and art. Structured to maximize clarity without compromising the integrity of the issues, each section is written in a succinct, objective manner and focuses on the irrefutable facts while resisting political biases or editorial commentary. Weekend scholars can read the book cover-to-cover or develop their own syllabus by choosing sections that bridge gaps in one's educational background. Other lessons include A History of Classical Music, Medicine: A Brief History, The Jazz Age and New Deal, The Law, The Computer Revolution, and Modern Thought. Hardcover; 550 pages
