You may be wondering why the cover photo of Pearson Baccalaureate's
Theory of Knowledge 2nd Edition was chosen. The building featured
in the photo is the planetarium at the site of the Bibliotheca
Alexandra - The New Library of Alexandria, Egypt. Considered to be
the largest and most significant library of the ancient world, the
original Library of Alexandria aimed to capture the world's
knowledge through the collection and storage of books. Following
numerous fires which contributed to the eventual destruction of the
library, The New Library of Alexandria was built in 2002 to
commemorate and emulate the original. One of the library's
objectives is to be a leading institution of the digital age and
one way of achieving this goal is allowing visitors of the
planetarium to learn through technology. We therefore thought it
was the perfect choice of image to illustrate the move to digital
that Pearson Baccalaureate is making, with the launch of more
interactive digital resources to allow new ways of learning. We
must admit it's also a spectacular building to look at, so that
made the decision a bit easier Click here to learn more about the
