Burning the books : a history of the deliberate destruction of knowledge

Ovenden, Richard (author.).

Summary: Libraries preserve the knowledge and ideas on which rights depend no wonder they are so often attacked. Richard Ovenden tells the history of this deliberate destruction of knowledge--from library burnings to digital attacks and contemporary underfunding--and makes a passionate plea for the importance of these threatened institutions.
