Popis
Text vydavateľa
Nové vydanie knihy Freda Lernera The Story of Libraries sa zaoberá históriou a súčasnosťou knižníc, ako univerzálneho sveta, kde sa systematicky sústreďujú, ukladajú a šíria poznatky ľudstva už od vzniku písma. Oboznamuje nás nielen s históriou knižníc dávnych kultúr, stredoveku a novoveku, keď sa začalo používať kníhtlač. Ukazuje čitateľovi ako fungujú moderné knižnice na svete.
Čitateľom vrelo odporúčame aj ďalšiu novinku: Living With The Books, nádherne ilustrovanú knihu o súkromných knižniciach.
In this fully updated edition, Fred Lerner continues to explore the ways in which men and women collect and organize the records of human experience. Updated to include our ever-expanding technology, this book describes the crucial role libraries played in ancient Egypt, Han-dynasty China, the ancient Western Classical world (the great library of Alexandria, which was lost to us in stages over many years), the Baghdad of Harun-al-Rashid, and medieval and Renaissance Europe. It continues with the libraries of colonial America, the Library of Congress, university libraries, and today's large public library system.
