Ann M. Blair is Henry Charles Lea Professor of History, Harvard University.
The flood of information brought to us by advancing technology is often accompanied by a distressing sense of 'information overload', yet this experience is not unique to modern times. In fact, says Ann Blair in this intriguing book, the invention of the printing press and the ensuing abundance of books provoked sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European scholars to register complaints very similar to our own. The author examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe. She explores in detail the sophisticated and sometimes idiosyncratic techniques that scholars and readers developed in an era of new technology and exploding information.

評分講的是early modern的reference book。當時的讀書人就已經在抱怨要讀的東西太多,把眼睛弄壞瞭、健康也壞瞭……。
評分很紮實,也有點枯燥
