Written to accompany the acclaimed BBC television documentary series of the same name, Jacob Bronowski presents a sweeping and passionate argument that science is the defining achievement of human culture — not a cold, impersonal discipline, but a deeply creative and humanistic endeavour. With vivid prose and extraordinary breadth of knowledge, the work details pivotal moments in human discovery, from the first stone tools and the development of agriculture to the revolutions of Newton, Darwin, and Einstein. Bronowski argues with warmth and conviction that the ascent of man is ultimately a story of the triumph of imagination, curiosity, and the restless human need to understand the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956151693531,"sku":"2026200008736-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7a3de949-dc25-45cb-9583-1fc6e4c104fc.png?v=1783498375","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008736-secondhand-the-ascent-of-man","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
