Arthur Herman: How the Scots Invented the Modern World

How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe\'s Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It
How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It by Arthur Herman is the tale of the Scottish Enlightenment and how Scotland led the Enlightenment generally. Filled with names like David Hume, Adam Smith and James Watt, the book explores the substantial Scottish influence from philosophy to economics to science and engineering. The book is an interesting read for all and absolutely fascinating for those of Scottish descent.
