  • Comments: Significant staining, on the other hand, might suggest exposure to various environments and situations. Whether it be a coffee stain from a leisurely morning read or water damage from a rainy day commute, each mark contributes to the book?s unique history. While some might view these imperfections as detriments, others see them as tangible connections to the book's past, enhancing its authenticity and charm.

AUTHOR

Hobart, Michael E., Schiffman, Zachary S.

SUMMARY

The late twentieth century is trumpeted as the Information Age by pundits and politicians alike, and on the face of it, the claim requires no justification. But in Information Ages, Michael E. Hobart and Zachary S. Schiffman challenge this widespread assumption. In a sweeping and captivating history of information technology from the ancient Sumerians to the world of Alan Turing and John von Neumann, the authors show how revolutions in the technology of information storage -- from the invention of writing approximately 5,000 years ago to the mathematical models for describing physical reality in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the introduction of computers -- profoundly transformed ways of thinking.Hobart, Michael E. is the author of 'Information Ages Literacy, Numeracy, and the Computer Revolution' with ISBN 9780801864124 and ISBN 0801864127.
