The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book (Hardcover): James Raven The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book (Hardcover)

In 14 original essays, The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book reveals the history of books in all their various forms, from the ancient world to the digital present. Leading international scholars offer an original and richly illustrated narrative that is global in scope. The history of the book is the history of millions of written, printed, and illustrated texts, their manufacture, distribution, and reception. Here are different types of production, from clay tablets to scrolls, from inscribed codices to printed books, pamphlets, magazines, and newspapers, from written parchment to digital texts. The history of the book is a history of different methods of circulation and dissemination, all dependent on innovations in transport, from coastal and transoceanic shipping to roads, trains, planes and the internet. It is a history of different modes of reading and reception, from learned debate and individual study to public instruction and entertainment. It is a history of manufacture, craftsmanship, dissemination, reading and debate. Yet the history of books is not simply a question of material form, nor indeed of the history of reading and reception. The larger question is of the effect of textual production, distribution and reception - of how books themselves made history. To this end, each chapter of this volume, succinctly bounded by period and geography, offers incisive and stimulating insights into the relationship between books and the story of their times.

R338 Discovery Miles 3 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A fresh new crafting approach which demonstrates that elaborate artworks can be created from a humble sheet of paper. Building on basic paper engineering and cutting techniques the projects increase in difficulty, from the first few die-cut sheets, from which the crafter 'pops' out the pieces to create the artwork, to more technical curling and quilling in a floral bouquet, and a bicycle sculpture as the final project. Notepad binding allows the pages to be smoothly extracted from the book, and a section of coloured and patterned sheets are included to use as backgrounds that add an extra dimension. There are also clear instructions to accompany photographs of the completed projects and each key technique is explained in detail. The finished projects can be displayed around the home to astonishment and admiration of family and friends. One Sheet Sculpture - The Great Outdoors contains 20 artworks on a springtime theme to make from a single sheet of paper: Kingfisher; Umbrella in an April Shower; Swan with Signets; Tree and Bird Box; Easter Chick and Egg; Koi Carp Pool; Lambs in Field; Frogs on Lotus Leaf; Bouquet of Flowers; Clothes on Washing Line; Deer in Forest; Japanese Cherry Blossom; Teacup Pig; Daisy Chain; Windmill and Tulips; Squirrel in Nest; Daffodils in Vase; Mountain Vista; Carousel; Bicycle.
