The ascent of man by
Jacob Bronowski(
Book
)
129 editions published between 1973 and 2017 in 9 languages and held by 4,417 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The Ascent of Man is nothing less than a full-scale history of science developed from the acclaimed thirteen-part BBC television series written by Jacob Bronowski, and traces the development of science as an expression of the special gifts that characterize man and that have made him unique among animal species. It journeys back through intellectual history in order to find 'the great monuments of human invention.' The author's informal history ranges throughout most of the western world, reaching into such out-of-the way places as Easter Island, Machu Picchu, Newton's library and Gauss's observatory, the Alhambra and the caves of Altamira. In each location, Bronowski considers the qualities of thought and imagination that compelled man first to analyze the physical world, and then to explore the invisible laws and structures above and beneath its surface. "Man ascends by discovering the fullness of his own gifts ... what he creates on the way are monuments to the stages in his understanding of nature and of self.""--Amazon.com

The Western intellectual tradition, from Leonardo to Hegel by
Jacob Bronowski(
Book
)
119 editions published between 1960 and 2001 in 6 languages and held by 2,643 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This is intellectual history in the largest sense, not confined to ideas in one or a few fields, but covering the whole spectrum of Western intellectual activity during the four centuries when the world was transformed from medieval to modern. An important feature of the book is its stress on the interplay of ideas from different fields. In particular, the authors give more attention than is usual to the ideas of science, to the movements of literary style, and to the innovations in the arts. This is a profound and evocative history of the life of ideas in their full setting: of men, of groups of men, of events

The identity of man by
Jacob Bronowski(
Book
)
61 editions published between 1963 and 2002 in 3 languages and held by 1,632 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book discusses the impact of science on our sense of self and the need to revaluate ethics in light of the scientific perspective. As both a practicing scientist and an author of books on poetry, the author makes interesting connections between the uses of the imagination in science and in literature. Whereas science creates experiments to test hypotheses about the outside world, he notes that literature also provides "experiments" in poetry and prose, allowing readers to experience what it means to be fully human and relating the individual's inner life to that of every human being

Magic, science, and civilization by
Jacob Bronowski(
Book
)
22 editions published between 1978 and 1991 in 4 languages and held by 1,386 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Adapted from the Bampton lectures delivered by the author at Columbia University shortly before his death, Bronowski here is concerned with the humanistic side of science. He emphasizes not only the idea that science is a human enterprise but that science and humanism have grown side by side and jointly since the Renaissance. In particular, he argues that the death of magic between 1500-1700 played a major role in the development of science and humanism

William Blake and the age of revolution by
Jacob Bronowski(
Book
)
43 editions published between 1965 and 2012 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,380 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Bronowski was fascinated by William Blake for much of his life. His first book about him, A Man Without a Mask, was published in 1944. In 1958 his famous Penguin selection of Blake's poems and letters was published. As further testimony to Bronowski's enthusiasm it should be noted that the final plate in the book of his great TV series The Ascent of Man is Blake's frontispiece to Songs of Experience. William Blake and the Age of Revolution, first published in 1965, is, in some ways, a revised edition of A Man Without a Mask, in others, a new book. In it Bronowski gives a stimulating interpreta
