ISBN:  9781934633014 : 1934633011 Description:  xii, 354 : ill., map ; 19 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  A product of ten years of research and support from leading American and European universities, A Universal History of the Destruction of Books traces a tragic story: the smashed tablets of ancient Sumer, the widespread looting of libraries in post-war Iraq, the leveling of the Library of Alexandria, book burnings by Crusaders and Nazis, and censorship against authors past and present. With diligence and grace, Báez mounts a compelling investigation into the motives behind the destruction of books, reading man's violence against writing as a perverse anti-creation. His findings ultimately attest to the lasting power of books as the great human repository of knowledge and memory, fragile yet vital bulwarks against the intransigence and barbarity of every age.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 098.109 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 098.109 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 098.109 Ba Lost 09/25/2012 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 098.109 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 098.109 Ba missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList
