From internal dust jacket:
For most of it's history, Scotland was a small, impoverished country with a reputation for violence, ignorance, and superstition. But suddenly, in the 18th century, it transformed itself into an intellectual superpower, providing the world with some of its greatest philosophers, architects, scientists, and men of letters. How did this remarkable phenomenon occur?
In How the Scots Invented the Modern World, Arthur Herman unravels the mystery of how Scotland quickly went from almost medieval levels of poverty and oppression to the highest literacy rate in Europe. Combining a seamless historical narrative with an impressive accumulation of evidence, Herman shows how Scotland provided Western civilization with some of its most enduring ideals, including democracy, free speech, equal opportunity, and universal education. The Scots, Herman writes, are the true inventors of the modern social sciences, including anthropology, history, sociology, and economics.

from the front flap: "The Golden Gate Bridge should never have been built. The waters at the ocean entrance to San Francisco Bay were too menacing, the Gate was too wide to be spanned by a suspension bridge, the costs of so ambitious a project were too high for an economy in the midst of Depression.""But impossible odds are fuel for the determination of a visionary engineer like Joseph Strauss, and danger is no more than a welcome companion to the steel-nerved bridgemen who willingly risk their lives to turn dreams such as his into reality."In May 1937 the Golden Gate bridge was a dazzling reality.
