When Information Came of Age: Technologies of Knowledge in the Age of Reason and Revolution, 1700-1850
Headrick, Daniel R. (Professor of Social Science and History, Professor of Social Science and History, Roosevelt University)
Although the Information Age is often described as a new era, its conceptual roots stretch back to the profound changes that occurred during the Age of Reason and Revolution. This title argues that the key to the present era lies in understanding the systems developed in the 18th and early 19th centuries to gather and communicate information.
