All the Knowledge in the World (Paperback)

All the Knowledge in the World is a history and celebration of those who created the most ground-breaking and remarkable publishing phenomenon of any age. It tracks the story from Ancient Greece to Wikipedia, from modest single-volumes to the 11,000-volume Chinese manuscript that was too big to print. It explains how encyclopaedias have reflected our changing attitudes towards sexuality, race and technology. The extraordinary history of the encyclopaedia.
