The most basic unit of the physical book is the page. It has determined the historical evolution of the book; the types of information communicated; and how the audience accesses that information.Unique and rewarding in both its scope and approach; The Future of the Page is a collection of essays that presents the best of recent critical theory on the history and future of the page and its enormous influence on Western thought and culture. Spanning the centuries between the earliest record of the page and current computerized conceptions of page-like entities; the essays examine the size of the page; its relative dimensions; materials; design; and display of information.The page is broadly defined; allowing the volume to explore topics ranging from medieval manuscripts to non-European alternatives to the page; Algonquin symbolic literacy; and hypertext. This thought-provoking collection will appeal to literary scholars; book historians; graphic designers; and those interested in the impact of evolving print technologies on intellectual and cultural life.

Nostalgia time if you went to Horace MannBy Johnny TIf you grew up in the area and went to Horace Mann it is imperative that you have a copy.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Was hoping for more about Horace MannBy H. GeorgeI attended Horace Mann in the 50s and 60s and was elated to hear there was a book written specifically about the neighborhood in which I was born and raised. The book contains some very good pictures and numerous nostalgic recollections of my childhood. I even learned a few facts that I previously didnt know. My only criticism would be that I was hoping to find more detail regarding the actual neighborhoods and Horace Mann School itself; and a little less detail about Garys industrial history; houses of worship and Holy Angels school. Many thanks; however; to Mr. Trafny for writing it...I bought a copy for myself and one for my brother!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. MemoriesBy Frank MillerGlad to see some acknowledgment of Gary; as the progressive city it was. As book is titled Garys West side- wish there was less about the downtown in this book and more about the west side and Horace Mann; where I graduated from.
