A former professor of European History at Princeton University, Robert Darnton is Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and director of the Harvard University Library. The founder of the Gutenberg-e program, he is the author of many books. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The invention of writing was one of the most important technological, cultural, and sociological breakthroughs in human history. With the printed book, information and ideas could disseminate more widely and effectively than ever before—and in some cases, affect and redirect the sway of history. Today, nearly one million books are published each year. But is the era of the book as we know it—a codex of bound pages—coming to an end? And if it is, should we celebrate its demise and the creation of a democratic digital future, or mourn an irreplaceable loss? The digital age is revolutionizing the information landscape. Already, more books have been scanned and digitized than were housed in the great library in Alexandria, making available millions of texts for a curious reader at the click of a button, and electronic book sales are growing exponentially. Will this revolution in the delivery of information and entertainment make for more transparent and far-reaching dissemination or create a monopolistic stranglehold?
In The Case for Books, Robert Darnton, an intellectual pioneer in the field of the history of the book and director of Harvard University's Library, offers an in-depth examination of the book from its earliest beginnings to its shifting role today in popular culture, commerce, and the academy. As an author, editorial advisor, and publishing entrepreneur, Darnton is a unique authority on the life and role of the book in society. This book is a wise work of scholarship—one that requires readers to carefully consider how the digital revolution will broadly affect the marketplace of ideas.
一本书的封面可以驴唇不对马嘴到如此境界,为我平生所仅见。憎恨腰封族我见过不少,但你讨厌腰封完全可以将之撕裂乃至碎尸万段,还书本清白面目。这本书封面下方的蓝色部分好似发明了将腰封印在书上的做法,我看你怎么撕!不过蓝色以上部分也好不了多少,敢堂而皇之用The Case ...

评分纸质书消亡的说法自从网络出现以来就开始不绝于耳,正如电视出现之后就一直有人在说报纸会消亡一样。人没法在自己活着的时候说自己已经死去,自然更也不会在活着的时候坦然地预言自己会死去;但是吊诡的是,现在却有越来越多的纸质书在谈论着纸质书的消亡。 媒介...
评分你开始看电子书了吗?最近一则新闻告诉我们,纸质版图书似乎正在消失:5月19日,亚马逊宣布亚马逊网站的用户购买Kindle电子书的数量已经超过纸质版图书。亚马逊销售Kindle电子书还不到4年,便超过了他们已经销售了15年的纸质版图书。 纸质版图书没有消失,相反,它们还在增长...
评分P23 美国和法国的历史学家总是玩这样的小把戏:他们重新编排证据,使人们产生不同的观点,即强调连续性,而不是变革。我认同的连续性鼻血与信息自身的本质有关,换句话说,就是文本内在的不稳定性。人们在科技变革这一问题上有这样一条长期的共识,即我们刚踏入新时期——信...
书名和章节标题都很好,但是严重文不对题。我觉得作者根本没有讨论阅读未来的意愿,只是挂着幌子怀旧罢了。
