Sinopsis

In "From Xylographs to Lead Molds; A.D. 1440-A.D. 1921," H. C. Forster meticulously traces the evolution of printing technology, illustrating its profound impact on literary production and dissemination from the advent of woodblock printing to the era of metal types. Employing an analytical yet accessible prose style, Forster explores the intersections of art and technology, contextualizing advancements within the rich tapestry of socio-political changes across centuries. The book expertly juxtaposes xylography and the introduction of lead molds, discussing how these innovations shaped not just the mechanization of literature but also cultural literacy and societal transformations in Europe and beyond. H. C. Forster, a scholar deeply invested in the history of print culture, brings to this work a breadth of knowledge both from his academic background and personal passion for the printed word. His exploration is informed by extensive research into archival documents and technological artifacts, revealing a keen understanding of historical contexts that led to pivotal shifts in printing practices. This book stands as a testament to Forster's commitment to illuminating the narrative of print technology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of literature, technology, or cultural studies. Forster's engaging narrative not only enhances our understanding of the printed medium's development but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of print in shaping modern communication and culture.

A Practical Guide To Modern...

J C eremy Hobson

I know of no gamekeepers who are not countrymen to their fingertips.  They observe, they consider, they cherish and they do more than most to look after out woodlands and hedgerows, our moorlands and fens.  Theirs is not an easy job, out in all weathers and misunderstood by many townies who are further removed from the countryside and its workings than they have ever been, thanks to increasing technology which keeps them housebound.  They need never go out if they so choose, remaining glued to the screen of a mobile phone, a computer or a television. But those who do realise that the intervention of man need not always be irresponsible and thoughtless can see just what benefits can accrue from the wise management of our natural resources, and Jeremy Hobson does much in this book to apprise us all of the modern approach to keepering, from raising birds and habitat management to choosing coats and boots and training dogs. It is all here, and a fascinating read it is; both for those in the know and those who are curious to learn all about it.

Mountainish

Zsuzsanna Gahse

A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
