Título : PAPER: PAGING THROUGH HISTORY Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: KURLANSKY, MARK Editorial: NEW YORK : NORTON Fecha de publicación: 2017 Número de páginas: 389 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-393-35370-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: HISTORY  PAPERMAKING  PAPER INDUSTRY  HISTORY Resumen: Paper is one of the simplest and most essential pieces of human technology. For the past two millennia, the ability to produce it in ever more efficient ways has supported the proliferation of literacy, media, religion, education, commerce, and art; it has formed the foundation of civilizations, promoting revolutions and restoring stability. By tracing paper’s evolution from antiquity to the present, with an emphasis on the contributions made in Asia and the Middle East, Mark Kurlansky challenges common assumptions about technology’s influence, affirming that paper is here to stay. Paper will be the commodity history that guides us forward in the twenty-first century and illuminates our times.

THE BASQUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD / KURLANSKY, MARK

Título : THE BASQUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: KURLANSKY, MARK Editorial: NEW YORK : PENGUIN Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 387 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-14-029851-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BASQUES  PAIS VASCO  SPAIN  PAYS BASQUE  FRANCE  HISTORY  CULTURE Resumen: Straddling a small corner of Spain and France in a land that is marked on no maps except their own, the Basques are a puzzling contradiction—they are Europe's oldest nation without ever having been a country. No one has ever been able to determine their origins, and even the Basques' language, Euskera—the most ancient in Europe—is related to none other on earth. For centuries, their influence has been felt in nearly every realm, from religion to sports to commerce. Even today, the Basques are enjoying what may be the most important cultural renaissance in their long existence, as displayed by new cookbooks like chefs Alexandra Raij and Eder Montero's The Basque Book and restaurateur Jose Pizarro’s Basque.
