Insightful overview - By: , 12 Jan 2000
Insightful & readable account of man's relationship with the written word. This is a timely account showing how the transmission of thoughts & ideas through the written word has changed through the evolution of culture, learning, & the physical form of the written word. At a time when the informational age pushes us towards a new relationships with the written word, it is worth taking stock of how we got to this point in our cultural history.
