Peter Burke knows his stuff, as
should any Professor Emeritus of Cultural History at Emmanuel College,
Cambridge. But how does he, and everyone else, know it? That question is the
center of his latest book, a sequel to his 2000 Social History of Knowledge: from Gutenberg to Diderot. Resuming
his scholarship at the year 1750, Burke continues to study the social trends of
knowledge up to the present in A Social
History of Knowledge II: from the Encyclopedie to Wikipedia.
