Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging examination of the historical development of encyclopedias, exploring the evolution of their purpose, structure, and format. The author delves into the origins of these comprehensive works of reference, tracing their roots back to ancient civilizations and highlighting their role as repositories of knowledge throughout history. The book examines the significant shift in the conception and production of encyclopedias from the late nineteenth century onwards, as publishers sought to make knowledge accessible to a broader audience beyond the privileged elite. This shift challenged traditional, bulky encyclopedias, leading to a demand for more concise and user-friendly formats, particularly for home use. The author reveals how this evolution was driven by the increasing desire for readily available information amidst the burgeoning public discourse of the time. The book sheds light on the changing landscape of knowledge dissemination and the impact of this evolution on the encyclopedias themselves. By exploring the diverse motivations behind these publishing trends, the author provides a compelling historical narrative that illuminates the complex relationship between knowledge, accessibility, and the evolution of reference works. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330617748_0
