A former professor of European History at Princeton University, Robert Darnton is Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and director of the Harvard University Library. The founder of the Gutenberg-e program, he is the author of many books. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The invention of writing was one of the most important technological, cultural, and sociological breakthroughs in human history. With the printed book, information and ideas could disseminate more widely and effectively than ever before—and in some cases, affect and redirect the sway of history. Today, nearly one million books are published each year. But is the era of the book as we know it—a codex of bound pages—coming to an end? And if it is, should we celebrate its demise and the creation of a democratic digital future, or mourn an irreplaceable loss? The digital age is revolutionizing the information landscape. Already, more books have been scanned and digitized than were housed in the great library in Alexandria, making available millions of texts for a curious reader at the click of a button, and electronic book sales are growing exponentially. Will this revolution in the delivery of information and entertainment make for more transparent and far-reaching dissemination or create a monopolistic stranglehold?
In The Case for Books, Robert Darnton, an intellectual pioneer in the field of the history of the book and director of Harvard University's Library, offers an in-depth examination of the book from its earliest beginnings to its shifting role today in popular culture, commerce, and the academy. As an author, editorial advisor, and publishing entrepreneur, Darnton is a unique authority on the life and role of the book in society. This book is a wise work of scholarship—one that requires readers to carefully consider how the digital revolution will broadly affect the marketplace of ideas.
我知道这本书为什么排名这么低。 原因很多:首先,我是在王府井书店进门打听的畅销书展台上看到它的,当时它和《乔布斯传记》放在一起。第二,它是中信出版社翻译的。第三,它竟然是个精装本! 对于达恩顿这么一个趣味优雅又勇于尝新、时髦而又正统的学者来说,这可真是巨大...
评分2007年11月,亚马逊公司的Kindle电子书阅读器横空问世;2010年1月,苹果公司推出了iPad平板电脑;在此同时,中国本土的各种电子书阅读器和平板电脑也层出不穷。与传统书本相差无几的屏幕尺寸、久读也不会眼睛疲劳的e-ink电子墨水技术、无线网络支持下便利的购书方式,所有这...
评分一本书的封面可以驴唇不对马嘴到如此境界,为我平生所仅见。憎恨腰封族我见过不少,但你讨厌腰封完全可以将之撕裂乃至碎尸万段,还书本清白面目。这本书封面下方的蓝色部分好似发明了将腰封印在书上的做法,我看你怎么撕!不过蓝色以上部分也好不了多少,敢堂而皇之用The Case ...
评分我觉得《阅读的未来》这本书正确的名字应该叫《阅读的过去》比较好。因为在哈佛图书馆的前馆长之中,达恩顿正是经历了谷歌图书搜索计划的那一任。这个计划,始于将五所大学研究性图书馆的馆藏书籍数字化,哈佛正是五所大学之一。一辈子热爱古籍珍本的达恩顿对此计划是持负...
评分网络时代的来临,已经排山倒海地冲击着各个行业,也不可避免地冲击着文化生态,不管我们愿意不愿意,喜欢不喜欢,创作来源、发表方式、出版形式、宣传策略,一切的一切都在不由任何个人能够主导地巨变中。阅读的方式是否会超越之前所有的经验,所有的人都在关注,希望能从书中...
书名和章节标题都很好,但是严重文不对题。我觉得作者根本没有讨论阅读未来的意愿,只是挂着幌子怀旧罢了。
