The title immediately puts me in mind of the disastrous bad science that went global recently, not to mention the political correctness now rampant in it. Now if the book was "When Corrupt Science Went Global," I'd be more interested in that.
I am not familiar with this book but the topic is one that has intrigued me for many years. Some time ago I read a book that focused on the academic influences of Islamic scholars during the middle ages especially in the areas of science and math. This at the same time Europe was wandering around in peasantry. I have also read about Chinese influences and am very familiar with Incan culture as my wife is from Peru. What I think is most interesting is how similar ideas popped up in different parts of the world at around the same time with no connection between the two disparate societies. Thanks for this review.
