Even though we publish digitally, we absolutely love books! [When Information Came of Age: Technologies of Knowledge in the Age of Reason and Revolution, 1700-1850]( “When Information Came of Age” proposes a new starting point, 1700-1850, for the information revolution that ultimately led to the Internet. Concerning the development of science and sociology side by side, this book is worth reading for its interdisciplinary approach. Both scholars and the general public interested in the demand, supply, and the organization of knowledge in modernity will benefit from the book’s philosophy on information history.

[Read full review]( [The Ancient City]( The Ancient City is a thoughtful study of cities in the ancient world, specifically focusing on ancient Greece and Rome. The author argues that the similarities between the cities of these two cultures outweighs the differences and thus makes them a good pair to juxtapose. This book provides a survey of the main scholarly debates on the ancient city.

He manages to bring out the best of both worlds at a time when they clashed violently for the control of the Holy Land. His portrayal of both sides is fair and just; I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge of this era.
