The best-selling author of Cod and Salt presents a history of paper and the unexpected ways it shaped a modern world transitioning toward digital technologies, tracing the role of paper and paper-making in education, media, religion, commerce and art. - Book News
This work for general readers and students traces the evolution of paper from ancient times to the present, with special attention to innovations made in Asia and the Middle East. Journalist Mark Kurlansky argues that paper will not vanish in the face of digital technology; in fact, he claims that the history of paper disproves the idea that technology changes society, and shows instead that society develops technology to address the changes that are already taking place. The book contains b&w historical and contemporary illustrations, art, and photos. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) - WW Norton
