Negative Positive
Title: fascinating
Review: The constant battle for a history teacher is to look for new sources to update what you teach. I read "The Discoverers" as part of my readings during summer school and was pleasnatly surpirsed by the fascinating topics covered.From water clocks, to T-O maps, to stories of antipodes; "The Discoverers" gives us a glimpse of how humanity lived in a period without the knowledge or things we now take for granted. If there's any lesson that can be gleaned, it is the importance of appreaciating how far we have gone.Boorstin's book was a boon to my class who found the notion of antipodes, fiery equator, & T-O maps funny.
Is the review positive or negative?
