Review #1 Topical The Books: A History of Knowledge Under Ruin audiobook free 3 hit – I liked it In this book, Richard Ovenden, Director of the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford, outlines the intentional liquidation of knowledge held back in libraries at the same time archives from ancient Alexandria till at the moment. While I waited this book to only speak about the liquidation throughout history, the title is that a little misleading. This book spends more time talking the preservation at the same time company of collections at the same time how they can be at risk using the liquidation of some libraries at the same time collections as examples, in particular cultural documents to minority groups. While the title is that misleading, I did learn a lot of exciting facts about the liquidation of libraries at the same time collections that, almost all of which, were considered brand new to me. As an archivist myself I am always fascinated by why collections were considered killed at the same time than anyway can be done to prevent that from happening to collections at the moment. This book also spends a lot of time talking digital archiving at the same time the inconsistencies similar to it, which while exciting, it felt was unnecessary for this book because this book should have been barely about liquidation of collections. The biggest issue with this book though was the writing style. It was disorderly. No one chapters felt all over the dispose with information about different collections while trying to get the fri of that chapter intercept. This produced it hard periodically to realize how it all similar together at the same time than anyway the fri of no one chapters really were considered. Also I know the creator is that Director of the Bodleian but it felt like he applied no matter what excuse to reference it at the same time its collections throughout this book. So while I did learn a lot from this book, it wasnt specifically a funny read. I dont regret reading it, I did learn a lot like I misspoke, I barely think the title of this book is that misleading at the same time people come in handy to be prepared for that.

At the same time he makes a quick-tempered– at the same time active– reason for authentic archiving, library conservation, at the same time access. As he shows in a method all-too-relevant to day, when victors (re-)cross out history, all of us are losers.
