Cleopatra's Nose: Essays on the Unexpected
Language: English
Published by Random House Inc, New York, 1994
ISBN 10: 0679435050 ISBN 13: 9780679435051
First Edition
Hard Back. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Trade Edition Stated. 210 Pages Indexed. Second Printing of the First Trade Edition. Dust jacket price $23.00 is unclipped. No marks or stamps noted. Gift quality. This provocative new collection of essays by a Pulitzer Prize winner deals with the challenging themes of discovery and surprise in history. The author has had unparalleled success in writing history and essays. The Discoverers, The Creators, and The Americans have been acclaimed all over the world and have been translated into twenty-five languages. Cleopatra's Nose is not a miscellany but rather a selection of recent essays illustrating specific subjects that have preoccupied Boorstin for several decades. Tantalizing themes all: How sometimes discovery only increases our ignorance. What were the specific historical opportunities in the New World? How has the fourth kingdomthe kingdom of machines-contradicted Darwinian expectations, contributed to a confusion of statistics, created the need for the unnecessary, and highlighted the paradoxes of science and the politics of common sense? In a personal postscript, Boorstin gives us a memorable and affectionate portrait of his father and optimistically celebrates the United States as the Land of the Unexpected.
