Paradigms Lost
Author: William J. Sonn
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810852624
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
Four times in western history: in the 1400s, the early 1800s, the 1880s, and again in the mid-20th century, we learned to duplicate and disseminate the printed word more cheaply. And each time strange events followed. For with each of these changes in the gritty production of glamorous content, expensive and secret bodies of knowledge abruptly became cheap and easy to spread. Once-rare and sometimes disorienting impressions rained down on once-sheltered folks. New and otherwise inexpert hands mixed them into whole new breeds of information, myth, logic, and viewpoints. There were fantastic scientific advances, mass migrations, bold social experiments, financial upheavals, and much bloodshed. In the harrowing decades that followed, powerful new kinds of governments, businesses, and groups came to elbow aside old ones. In all of these periods, there were great, creaking shifts in politics, wealth, religions, and even the way we learn, think, and see. And in the last decade, the costs of producing and distributing printed knowledge have fallen a fifth time, far and fast and almost to free. Paradigms Lost traces the history of the accidents, inventions, forces, eccentrics, and geniuses who accelerated information in the past, examines what happened each time they succeeded, and provides some background for what, if the past is any guide, may be coming.

The Complete Personal Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson
Author: Trenton B. Olsen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429602294
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
For all of Robert Louis Stevenson’s achievements in fiction, many of his contemporaries thought of him primarily as an essayist. His essays, known for their intellectual substance, emotional force, and stylistic vitality, were widely considered the best of their time. Despite the importance of Stevenson’s nonfiction, his personal essays—70 in total—have never been printed together in a single volume until now. Stevenson’s essays explore a range of topics from illness and evolution to marriage and dreams, and from literal and literary travel to the behavior of children and the character of dogs. Grappling with many of the cultural, ethical, and existential questions of his age, he resists dogma to draw fresh conclusions. Stevenson examines beggars and university students, immigrants and engineers, invalids and nurses, outlining his own colorful life story and unique approach to "the art of living" along the way. Whereas the most common and widely available versions of these texts were modified after Stevenson’s death, this volume gathers his personal essays, many of which have never appeared in any modern edition, in their authorized versions. These essays are still considered classic models of the form, and in this volume, the Editor presents them alongside an introduction and notes to assist in a rereading and reappreciation that is long overdue.

There Is No "I" in Lucky
Author: Jim Walters
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483696537
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
This book is a belated attempt by Jim Walters to explain just what happened to a life that early on seemed so full of promise. Any successes in life were always cancelled out by bad decisions on his part or just plain bad luck. The multiple instances of bad luck and the multiple bad decisions on his part seemed to produce a lifetime that seemed to have no direction at all. But an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and subsequent depression, neither of which was discovered until midlife, adds some possible understanding as to just what went on.
