8/17/17 review of book The Ascent of Man, by Jacob Bronowski

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book The Ascent of Man, by Jacob Bronowski.

The thread gives a summary of the book, as well as some context on it and its relation to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation, as well as some context on how I came to read the book. The thread discusses the book's nonlinear approach to the history of science. And it gives some criticisms of the book's style.
