You could look it up : the reference shelf from ancient Babylon to Wikipedia / Jack Lynch. by Lynch, Jack (John T.), author. New York : Bloomsbury Press, 2016. Subjects Reference books -- History.   Encyclopedias and dictionaries -- History and criticism. ISBN:  9780802777522 (hardcover) : 080277752X (hardcover) Description:  453 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Today we think of Wikipedia as the source of all information, the ultimate reference. Yet it is just the latest in a long line of aggregated knowledge--reference works that have shaped the way we've seen the world for centuries. You Could Look It Up chronicles the captivating stories behind these great works and their contents, and the way they have influenced each other. From The Code of Hammurabi, the earliest known compendium of laws in ancient Babylon almost two millennia before Christ to Pliny's Natural History; from the 11th-century Domesday Book recording land holdings in England to Abraham Ortelius's first atlas of the world; from Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language to The Whole Earth Catalog to Google, Jack Lynch illuminates the human stories and accomplishment behind each, as well as its enduring impact on civilization. In the process, he offers new insight into the value of knowledge."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 028.709 Ly Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 028.709 Ly Checked In Add Copy to MyList
