ABANDONED. Author attempts to obtain general understanding of several subjects

[Julian]

It was a non-fiction book. The author had attempted to write on a few subjects, where he consulted experts in each field to develop a basic understanding of each subject. Reads somewhat like a textbook. I remember the first chapter was on history, there was definitely another on biology. I'm not sure about the others, maybe psychology or something. I think it was between 300 and 500 pages, maybe published between 1950 and 2000. I didn't get anywhere with google search and I don't have enough information for a database.

A guess - Conceptual Revolutions by Paul Thagard?

Maybe A Short History of Nearly Everything? although it is mostly about science
