Synopsis

Many adults long to make up for an education they either never had or that seemed somehow lacking. Now they can fill in the gaps right at home with The Bedside Baccalaureate series, which speaks directly to this grown-up thirst for knowledge. Filled with colour images, extremely readable and with an appealing presentation, it provides a fun, no-pressure experience that everyone will enjoy. The goal of The Bedside Baccalaureate is not the simple accumulation of trivia, but the placement of facts within the framework of knowledge. The 20 courses - focused overviews of subjects with which any well-educated person would want to be familiar - are created by experts in their fields with the intention of making the topics accessible and entertaining. Each course - from Art History to Mathematics and Engineering to Philosophy - consists of 18 one-page lectures that maximise clarity without compromising the integrity of the ideas. The lectures are rotated, rather than clumped together, to add variety to the reading experience and to mimic the heady mix of subjects one encounters in the world of the intellect. You can dip into an assortment of areas by reading a page at a time; or, if a course really grabs you, you can skip ahead. Learning is contagious - once you get started, its difficult to stop.
