"A fascinating multidisciplinary essay collection that will appeal
to information history junkies as well as history, journalism, and
library science students."
*Library Journal*
"I did not want it to end. . . . It has thrown my personal
information system out of equilibrium and reminded me how many
things I still have to learn about my own field of study. There are
not too many books I have read to the end and opened back to the
introduction before setting it down. Well done. Information: A
Historical Companion answers questions I did not know I
had."---Jodi Kearns, Journal of the Association for Information
Science and Technology
"This book is an essential work of reference accessible to
historians and scholars across the humanities and social sciences.
A great deal of good work went into its development, and the
results reward it"---James W. Cortada, Journal of Interdisciplinary
History
"Ultimately, Information offers an informative, and indeed fresh,
perspective on a phenomenon that, historically and
contemporaneously, has been so central to our lives, technologies,
and societies. While expertly summarizing existing literature
across diverse disciplines, it reveals many exciting convergences
between hitherto disparate approaches and creates compelling
connections between technology, information, and history."---Marc
Kosciejew, Technology and Culture
"Surely the definitive work on the overall subject."---David
Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
"Rollicking"---N.J. Enfield, Times Literary Supplement
