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.
LITEROTICA 2 is provocative erotic fiction as selected by readers and the editors of the popular website Literotica.com. Ranging in tone from humorous to heartbreaking, the stories in this collection are highly literate tales of erotic adventure. LITEROTICA 2 is culled from thousands of stories, even whole novels, posted at Literotica.com. Well-developed characters and believable plot lines distinguish the stories in the LITEROTICA book series. (LITEROTICA 1 is now in its fourth printing and was a featured selection of Doubleday's erotic book club.) "This book is filled with new voices, telling a wide variety of engaging, explicit stories," states well-known erotica author Marilyn Jaye Lewis in the book's introduction. "Some are upbeat and racy, while others are rich with emotional depth, healing, and a certain sense of closure. If there were any one theme unifying these stories, it would most likely be imaginative erotica; there isn't a predictable plotline lurking in any of the stories in this collection. Now, how refreshing is that?"

The highly acclaimed debut of one of Norway's brightest talents.Mathea Martinsen has never been good at dealing with other people. After a lifetime, her only real accomplishment is her longevity: everyone she reads about in the obituaries has died younger than she is now. Afraid that her life will be over before anyone knows that she lived, Mathea digs out her old wedding dress, bakes some sweet cakes, and heads out into the world-to make her mark. She buries a time capsule out in the yard. (It gets dug up to make room for a flagpole.) She wears her late husband's watch and hopes people will ask her for the time. (They never do.) Is it really possible for a woman to disappear so completely that the world won't notice her passing? The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am is a macabre twist on the notion that life "must be lived to the fullest."
