Sommario/riassunto

When Abraham Lincoln moved to Illinois' Sangamo Country in 1831, he found a pioneer community transforming from a cluster of log houses along an ancient trail to a community of new towns and state roads. But two of the towns vanished in a matter of years, and many of the activities and lifestyles that shaped them were almost entirely forgotten. In The Sangamo Frontier, archaeologist Robert Mazrim unearths the buried history of this early American community, breathing new life into a region that still rests in Lincoln's shadow. Named after a shallow river that cuts

Sommario/riassunto

Das »Projekt Alexandria« am CERN hatte zwischen 1993 und 1995 das ehrgeizige Ziel, mit der W3O eine World Wide Web-Organisation zu gründen. Marcus M. Rommel gibt erstmals fundierte empirische Einblicke in das Vorhaben und wertet es medienhistorisch aus. Reichhaltige Archivmaterialien des CERN zeigen die Entwicklungen des frühen Webs auf und unterstreichen Europas maßgeblichen Beitrag für dessen Standardisierung sowie technische Weiterentwicklung – und lüften darüber hinaus auch das Geheimnis, warum das Projekt schlussendlich nicht weiterverfolgt wurde.
