The Passion Of The Western Mind

The Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas ISBN 0345368096

A great book about the evolution of ideas through Western civilization from the early Greeks through the 20th century. An easy read. It flows well through the centuries with the right amount of detail for covering such a huge topic for people with other things to do.
