Become the Renaissance man or woman
you always knew you could be.

Who were Malthus and Ricardo?
What's the difference between a grip and
a gaffer? What's so pathetic about the
pathetic fallacy? How do you tell film noir
from cinéma vérité, Rubens from Titian,
deduction from induction, Guelphs from
Ghibellines?

Discover the answers to these and
thousands of other questions in this
entertaining and enlightening book.

An Incomplete Education takes the
apple of knowledge, peels it, cores it,
slices it, and serves it up with dazzling
style. Each chapter is devoted to a major
discipline—American Studies, Art
History, Economics, Film, Literature,
Music, Philosophy, Political Science,
Psychology, Religion, Science, and World
History—and each section will instruct
and delight. It's all here—the fascinating
facts and superfluous knowledge you
once learned and promptly forgot.

Hear three well-worn arguments for
the existence of God. Learn eleven arias
to sing in the shower. Discover ten burn­
ing questions in the history of science.
Probe five great psychoanalytical cases.
Recognize twelve fictional characters
with whom you should have at least a
nodding acquaintance. Read "A Nervous
American's Guide to Living and Loving
on Five Continents" before you answer a
personal ad in The International Herald
Tribune. Keep track of the many French
Louis and the chairs they sat on. Learn
to distinguish a brougham from a curri­
cle and malmseyfromclaret.

Celebrate An Incomplete Education.
Ten years in the making, it brings you ten
thousand years of culture with wit, style,
and sophistication.
