Information has a rich but under explored history. The information
age of the late twentieth century witnessed the emergence of a new
history of information and, in this timely collection of essays, a
team of international scholars from a variety of disciplines
examines the changing understandings of information in the modern
world. Situating the concept of information in varying historical
contexts since the eighteenth century, Information History in the
Modern World: Histories of the Information Age: * explores how this
historical research can challenge our perceptions of the
information age in the global twenty-first century * discusses
ephemera, wars, imagery, empire, identification and the transience
of history in the digital era * argues that the changing uses,
perceptions and manifestations of information helped to shape the
world we know today. Authoritative and approachable, this is an
invaluable resource for anyone who is interested in how and why
information has become a distinguishing feature of the modern
world.
