Résumé:

Originally published in two volumes, this book has been issued in a paperback edition containing both volumes. This work is a full-scale historical treatment of the advent of printing and its importance as an agent of change. The author begins by examining the general implications of the shift from script to print, and goes on to examine its part in three of the major movements of early modern times - the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the rise of modern science. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
