Dr Bronowski's magnificent THE ASCENT OF MAN traces our rise - both as a species and as moulders of our own environment and future. It covers invention from the flint tool to geometry, from the arch to the Theory of Relativity. Its grasp not only of science but also civilization shows man's ability to understand nature, to control it and not to be controlled by it.
