Description
A collection of hard‑hitting, highly readable essays reflects Professor Gombrich's preoccupation with the central questions of value and tradition in our culture, and confronts some of the most urgent issues facing modern civilization. Topics include radical proposals for the reform of higher education, an attack on relativism and a plea for the conservation of our cities, alongside thought‑provoking studies of the work of Oskar Kokoschka, Abram Games, Saul Steinberg and Henri Cartier‑Bresson.
