It brings together research and interviews with thinkers from various disciplines who trace the moments when narrow-mindedness, misguided ideas, and passions were the decisive factors in shaping the course of humanity. \"A World History of Nonsense\" reveals the destructive role of stupidity in wars, colonialism, racism, terrorism, the folly of power, and even the nonsense in the history of medicine. More than just a historical account, it exposes the disastrous ideas that have been sanctified throughout the ages, from the agricultural revolution to the threat of global warming. Written in a literary style imbued with biting irony, this work offers rich and engaging scholarship that invites the reader to reconsider the true forces that have shaped our history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010319237274,"sku":"9786030579259","price":78.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/9343f7c6-89d6-49d9-962e-247f309b.jpg?v=1768386843","url":"https:\/\/bookfanar.com\/en\/products\/9786030579259","provider":"Book Fanar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
