Brand New Knowledge Card Week

In our Brand New Product Launch we have some new Knowledge Card Decks and we are going to feature a new deck every day of this week. As always, they are eclectic, fun and more important: they are all available now!

EACH DECK contains 48 cards with questions or images on one side and answers or images on the reverse. Bite-sized info in one neat pack, retailing at £5.95.

Todays deck is:  IN SEARCH OF A PERFECT WORLD, Architectural, Political, Social, and Literary Vision of Utopia.

From the People’s Church to Plato’s republic, utopian communities too often fail as extremism edges out moderation. What child of Woodstock could tolerate the Platonic state, with its embargo on music? And as to Thomas More’s creation, it’s all about perspective: the slaves who drove Utopia’s economy might have preferred a different arrangement.

Yet time and again women and men have left the hurly-burly of the city for an agrarian idyll in the belief that a perfect world—or a nearly perfect acre—might be possible. This quiz deck of 48 cards, with questions on one side and answers on the other, offers a realistic survey of utopias around the world and throughout history.

With 48 fact-filled cards per package, Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards.

Size: 3 1/4 x 4".
