|title=The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View
|rating=5
|genre=History
|summary=With plaudits such as 'Ten years in the making' and a 'US Bestseller', this book has serious pedigree. It is a serious book in content also. At its very heart is the link between the disciplines of philosophy, religion and science. Small sentence, huge implications, I'm thinking right at the outset. Where to begin? Well, all the chapters are usefully sub-divided into bite-sized pieces. So, although this book may look daunting to some at first glance, the subject matter can be broken down very easily. Therefore, it starts with a section headed 'The Greek World View' and as many might expect, covers Socrates, Plato and Homer.
