Beschreibung
Peter Burke examines the long history of humanity's ignorance across religion and science, war and politics, and business and catastrophes. Burke reveals remarkable stories of the many forms of ignorance?genuine or feigned, conscious and unconscious?from the willful politicians who redrew Europe's borders in 1919 to the politics of whistleblowing and climate change denial.
