Conclusion --Bibliography --IndexIn The Nature of the Book, a tour de force of cultural history, Adrian Johns constructs an entirely original and vivid picture of print culture and its many arenas-commercial, intellectual, political, and individual. "A compelling exposition of how authors, printers, booksellers and readers competed for power over the printed page. . . . The richness of Mr. Johns's book lies in the splendid detail he has collected to describe the world of books in the first two centuries after the printing press arrived in England."-Alberto Manguel, Washington Times "[A] mammoth and stimulating account of the place of print in the history of knowledge. . . . Johns has written a tremendously learned primer."-D. Graham Burnett, New Republic "A detailed, engrossing, and genuinely eye-opening account of the formative stages of the print culture. . . . This is scholarship at its best."-Merle Rubin, Christian Science Monitor "The most lucid and persuasive account of the new kind of knowledge produced by print. . . . A work to rank alongside McLuhan."-John Sutherland, The Independent "Entertainingly written. . . . The most comprehensive account available . . . well documented and engaging."-Ian Maclean, Times Literary SupplementPrintingSocial aspectsEuropeHistoryPrintingSocial aspectsEnglandHistoryBooksEuropeHistoryBooksEnglandHistoryTransmission of textsScienceEuropeHistoryScienceEnglandHistoryScience publishingEuropeHistoryScience publishingEnglandHistoryEuropeIntellectual lifeEnglandIntellectual lifeElectronic books.PrintingSocial aspectsHistory.PrintingSocial aspectsHistory.BooksHistory.BooksHistory.Transmission of texts.ScienceHistory.ScienceHistory.Science publishingHistory.Science publishingHistory.686.09686.2/094686.2094Johns Adrian329148MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458027703321The nature of the book2264635UNINA01042nam a2200241 i 4500991002768019707536070831s2007 it b 001 0 ita d8814132925b13577347-39ule_instDip.to Studi Giuridiciita341.75309420L'applicazione del diritto comunitario della concorrenza :commentario al regolamento (CE) n. 1/2003 del Consiglio del 16 dicembre 2002 /a cura di Adelina Adinolfi ...
