The importance of the library, from ancient times to the digital era

From Greek and Roman times to the digital era, the library has remained central to knowledge, scholarship, and the imagination. The Meaning of the Library is a generously illustrated examination of this key institution of Western culture. Tracing what the library has meant since its beginning, examining how its significance has shifted, and pondering its importance in the twenty-first century, notable contributors--including the Librarian of Congress and the former executive director of the HathiTrust--present a cultural history of the library. In an informative introduction, Alice Crawford sets out the book's purpose and scope, and an international array of scholars, librarians, writers, and critics offer vivid perspectives about the library through their chosen fields. The Meaning of the Library will appeal to all who are interested in this vital institution's heritage and ongoing legacy.

Описание: In this book, Kevin M. Cherry compares the views of Aristotle and Plato about the practice, study and, above all, the purpose of politics. In the first book to place Aristotle`s Politics in sustained dialogue with Plato`s Statesman, Cherry argues that their different political philosophies reflect different understandings of how human beings relate to the natural world around them.
