ABHB Annual Bibliography of the History of the Printed Book and Libraries
Author: Hendrik D.L. Vervliet
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401188025
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
The history of printing, books, and libraries, is confined only to a limited extent within the boundaries of individual countries. There are, indeed, few historical developments which have played a more universal role, in reaction against all kinds of particularism, than type design, printing, book production, publishing, illustration, binding, librarianship, journal ism, and related subjects. Their history should be assessed and studied primarily in an international, not in a local, context. The bibliographical resources, however, which the historian of these sub jects has at his disposal correspond hardly at all to the essentially inter national character of the object of his studies. Since the appearance of the retrospective bibliography of BIG MORE and WYMAN, covering the subject comprehensively up to r88o, the only current bibliography has been the lnternationale Bibliographie des Buck-und Bi bliothekswesens. Covering a representative part of newly published liter ature, it appeared from rgz8, but did not survive the Second World War. More recently, several useful, but limited, bibliographies have appeared.

Antigua and Barbuda
Author: Riva Berleant-Schiller
Publisher: ABC-CLIO
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Antigua and Barbuda together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and after the end of slavery resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy and its goals are now shaped by high-impact tourist development. This is the only comprehensive reference available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.
