I won't even give the impression I know this subject matter. Ian McNeely and Lisa Wolverton teach at the University of Oregon and have written a magnificent overview of the history of knowledge production in the West.
Here is an intellectual entertainment, a sweeping history of the key institutions that have organized knowledge in the West from the classical period onward. With elegance and wit, this exhilarating history alights at the pivotal points of cultural transformation. The motivating question throughout: How does history help us understand the vast changes we are now experiencing in the landscape of knowledge?
