Ideas for a new century

"In these dialogues - most of them in the company of Ideas host Paul Kennedy - some of the great intellectuals of our time reflect, interject, and project on the course of human civilization, addressing topics such as social engineering and human rights; the directions of science and technology; the influence of art, music, and literature; and the quest for truth." "Compiled and edited by Bernie Lucht, this volume explores the ideas of eighteen inspiring thinkers."--Jacket.
