From cave paintings to computers, this overview of the history of
books and communication is written for the layperson and student.
It provides clear information on how books shaped and reflected
major social, political, and literary developments. As a general
guide, it moves from the earliest writing in the Middle East and
Egypt to Greece, Rome, and early Christian contributions to book
production and literacy. Major sections discuss publishing during
the Middle Ages and how the invention of printing drastically
changed and improved the distribution of knowledge. Later chapters
take the reader from the age of encyclopedias in the seventeenth
century to the great technological advances of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. For those who wish to pursue specific areas in
the history of the book in greater detail, there are three parts
devoted to additional reading with descriptive, critical
annotations: general histories and bibliographies, scribes and
printers, and printing to the modern period. Extensive notes and
documentation will lead to additional sources.
