{"product_id":"9789057270079","title":"Creative Leaps Shape the World: The History of the Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book takes us through the seventeen major leaps in history that bring us to the development of our future. William Graham-Smith describes in each creative leap the birth of a new phase of history. From nothing came matter, a solar system, a world, life, the cerebral cortex and human communities, in the development of the capacities of human communities, choices have been made — hunter gatherers chose to develop agricultural skills, and agriculturalists chose to develop machines. The development was chaotic, and we now live in a situation of global chaos. Our knowledge of development shows, Graham-Smith argues, that we have the potential to transform the chaos into sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054995063024,"sku":"9789057270079","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789057270079_p0.jpg?v=1763670692","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789057270079","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
