There used to be this idea of a 'body of knowledge' that all individuals should know, and this generally consisted of 'The Classics' like Greek and Roman history and so on. However, knowing the ins and outs of Sophocles' plays but not knowing about the theory of relativity may not be good enough today. Society is becoming more and more polarised between the ones who have knowledge and those who do not, and this is a bad development. This book is an attempt to fill the basic knowledge gaps that we all have, and broaden our sphere of learning. Don't let the Druids get too far ahead
