Books: A Living History
Autor Martyn Lyonsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2011
Many
of
the
great
individual
titles
of
the
past
two
millennia
are
discussed
as
well
as
the
range
of
book
types
and
formats
that
have
emerged
in
the
last
few
hundred
years,
from
serial
and
dime
novels
to
paperbacks,
children’s
books,
and
Japanese
manga.
The
volume
ends
with
a
discussion
of
the
digital
revolution
in
book
production
and
distribution
and
the
ramifications
for
book
lovers,
who
can’t
help
but
wonder
whether
the
book
will
thrive—or
even
survive—in
a
form
they
recognize.

Recenzii
"In
this
sumptuously
illustrated
history
of
the
book,
Lyons
covers
a
millennia
of
changes,
from
ancient
Mesopotamian
carvings
to
Gutenberg's
innovations
in
printing,
through
the
computer
age
and
the
advent
of
the
Internet
and
e-readers."—Publishers
Weekly
"Besides
giving
us
a
visual
journey
of
the
book
as
a
beautiful,
aesthetic
object,
Lyons
also
shows
how
influential
the
book
has
been
in
shaping
human
history
for
2,500
years."—Shelf
