Read in June, 2010

A second book by Boorstin to feed my interest in the history of ideas. His expressed idea of "the great interuption" as being apt for parts of the Middle Ages and especially how theology shaped maps for centuries was an image of the triumph of sacred belief over what proved to be the physical reality of the world evoked many reflective thoughts for me.
