Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950
by Charles Murray
This is a great book! I'm sure it took Murray years to collect the data he presents in this book. I found it a bit technical at times but over all it is a very well written book. Any one interested in scholarly books should read it.
Murray studied human accomplishments from 850 B.C. until 1950. According to him all accomplishments rest on 4002 individuals. He covers sciences, philosophy, music, visual arts, and literature.
Read it!!
