Description

Paradigms Lost : The Life And Deaths of the Printed Word, Paperback by Sonn, William J., ISBN 0810852624, ISBN-13 9780810852624, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Colorado-based historian and writer Sonn describes the inventions and forces that shaped information processes in the past, providing a background for what the future may hold. In a conversational yet information-filled narrative he recounts the evolution of the printed word over the past 160,000 years, lightly touching on "primordial scratches" and proceeding to the birth of type (what he describes as "from hand to lever"), the age of type ("from lever to machine"), and the end of type ("from machine to math"), then concluding with "life after type."
