A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
Read articles in Encylopaedia Britannica's Macropaedia
The following article list, and the focus of my Britannica studies, comes from the 1993 edition of the Britannica, which I bought from a used book store for $50 (a deal I couldn’t pass up). Although this set was published over twenty years ago, its historical data is still valid, and basic scientific principles are little changed, making these books still largely relevant, thus still worthy of study. This list contains over 670 articles. That’s a lot of reading.
