Nicolas il filosofo è un racconto di Alexandre Dumas. Lavorare per un lingotto d'oro, un lingotto per un cavallo, un cavallo, una mucca, una mucca per un maiale. Questi sono gli avvenimenti che caratterizzano il ritorno di Nicolas e dopo diversi incontri e discussioni se ne torna a casa con la cosa più inaspettata.

Nicolas, Il Filosofo

Asa Briggs has been a prominent figure in post-war cultural life - as a pioneering historian, a far-sighted educational reformer, and a sensitive chronicler of the way in which broadcasting and communication more generally have shaped modern society. He has also been a devoted servant of the public good, involved in many inquiries, boards and trusts. Yet few accounts of public life in Britain since the Second World War include a discussion or appreciation of his influential role. This collection of essays provides the first critical assessment of Asa Briggs' career, using fresh research and new perspectives to analyse his contribution and impact on scholarship, the expansion of higher education at home and overseas, and his support and leadership for the arts and media more generally. The online bibliography of Asa Briggs' publications which accompanies the book is available on the The Institute of Historical Research website here.
