Vaccinations, Relativity, Fascism, Imagine a world before the invention of writing, or religion without a concept of hell. Sometimes these ideas coma along suddenly: Copernicus's heliocentric model; Gutenberg's printing press Darwin's theory of evolution Sometimes they evolve over generations: the institution of marriage; the development of animal husbandry; the understanding of genetics. Either way, once the idea gains a foothold, nothing is the same again. This fascinating little book tells the hidden human stories behind 150 revolutionary concepts taken from the realms of science, politics, society, culture, religion and technology, these are the big ideas that have changed the world- in a nutshell.
