Here’s your chance to brush  up on all those subjects you slept through in school, reacquaint yourself with all  the facts you once knew (then promptly forgot), catch up on major developments in  the world today, and become the Renaissance man or woman you always knew you could  be!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How do you tell the Balkans from the Caucasus? What’s the difference between  fission and fusion? Whigs and Tories? Shiites and Sunnis? Deduction and induction?  Why aren’t all Shakespearean comedies necessarily thigh-slappers? What are transcendental  numbers and what are they good for? What really happened in Plato’s cave? Is postmodernism  dead or just having a bad hair day? And for extra credit, when should you use the  adjective continual and when should you use continuous?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAn Incomplete Education\u003c\/i\u003e answers these and thousands of other questions with incomparable wit, style, and  clarity. American Studies, Art History, Economics, Film, Literature, Music, Philosophy,  Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Science, and World History: Here’s the bottom  line on each of these major disciplines, distilled to its essence and served up with  consummate flair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this revised edition you’ll find a vitally expanded treatment  of international issues, reflecting the seismic geopolitical upheavals of the past  decade, from economic free-fall in South America to Central Africa’s world war, and  from violent radicalization in the Muslim world to the crucial trade agreements that  are defining globalization for the twenty-first century. And don’t forget to read  the section \"A Nervous American’s Guide to Living and Loving on Five Continents\" before  you answer a personal ad in the \u003ci\u003eInternational Herald Tribune.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As delightful as  it is illuminating, \u003ci\u003eAn Incomplete Education\u003c\/i\u003e packs ten thousand years of culture into  a single superbly readable volume.
