ISBN: 9780553819663 / Angielski / Miękka / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1450, all Europe's books were handcopied and amounted to only a few thousand.

Born in 1400 in Mainz, Germany, Gutenberg struggled against a background of plague and religious upheaval to bring his remarkable invention to light. His story is full of paradoxes: his ambition was to reunite all Christendom, but his invention shattered it; he aimed to make a fortune, but was cruelly denied the fruits of his life's work. Yet history remembers him as a...

Piracy: The Intellectual Property Wars from Gutenberg to Gates
ISBN: 9780226401188 / Angielski / Twarda / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the rise of Napster and other file-sharing services in its wake, most of us have assumed that intellectual piracy is a product of the digital age and that it threatens creative expression as never before. The Motion Picture Association of America, for instance, claimed that in 2005 the film industry lost $2.3 billion in revenue to piracy online. But here Adrian Johns shows that piracy has a much longer and more vital history than we have realized one that has been largely forgotten and is little understood. "Piracy" explores the intellectual property wars from the advent of print...
