An historical journey well worth the ride. [Kurlansky] has a deep instinct for telling detail, which he combines with a disarmingly fun narrative style. Kurlansky makes a compelling case that paper has always been a revolutionary force - a foundation for expression of every sort -- and that it is certainly not dead yet., Curious, vital, prolific, and witty.... Kurlansky's work makes brilliant use of paper as a key to civilization., A beautiful thing to hold and feel, and it presents a fine argument for the retention of paper as an aesthetically lusty object., Kurlanksy tells [the history of paper] vividly in this compact and well-illustrated book....He has a sharp eye for curious details....[and] offers a versatile introduction to this long and complicated history., [An] historical journey well worth the ride. [Kurlansky] has a deep instinct for telling detail, which he combines with a disarmingly fun narrative style.

Synopsis
Paper is one of the simplest and most essential pieces of human technology. For the past two millennia, the ability to produce it in ever more efficient ways has supported the proliferation of literacy, media, religion, education, commerce, and art; it has formed the foundation of civilizations, promoting revolutions and restoring stability. By tracing paper's evolution from antiquity to the present, with an emphasis on the contributions made in Asia and the Middle East, Mark Kurlansky challenges common assumptions about technology's influence, affirming that paper is here to stay. Paper will be the commodity history that guides us forward in the twenty-first century and illuminates our times., From the New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, a definitive history of paper and the astonishing ways it has shaped today's world.
