Description:
'Starting from the Bronze Age and ending with modern emails and a possible future of e-books, Steven Fischer's A History of Reading takes in a wonderful diversity of things.' — Nature
'It's an exciting story, which the author tells clearly and chronologically.' — Daily Telegraph
Steven Roger Fischer's fascinating book, now available in an updated B-format edition, traces the complete story of reading, from the time when symbol first became sign through to the electronic texts of the present day.
Journeying smoothly across continents and through time, Fischer charts the developments of ancient and completely divergent writing systems and scripts in Asia and the Americas; the innovative re-inventions of reading — silent and liturgical reading, the custom of lectors, reading's focus in general education — in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages; the emergence of the book trade, broadsheets, newspapers and public readings; the sweeping educational reforms of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and the appearance of free libraries, gender differences in reading matter, public advertising and the 'forbidden' lists of Church, State and the unemancipated. Finally, he assesses the future, suggesting a radical new definition of what reading could be.

Great fun for dogs!
Color: Orange
Two of our dogs really love this! It caused a lot of barking and chasing and running around trying to grab it. It's really funny to use the remote to control it (and especially make it stop when things get a little too chaotic!) It feels durable even when pawed and bumped into and stepped on. The battery life seems good. I plugged it in overnight to charge so not sure how long it took to charge, but it has lasted quite a while with the dogs playing with it and still doesn't need a charge. It's easy to screw off one side of the ball to plug it in to charge. The size is a little bigger than a tennis ball I would say and has a soft texture.

It doesn't work.
Color: Blue
The two halves of the ball shell come apart again and again when the dog plays with them. When it is time to recharge the core, it will not take a charge. The dog loves it, but it's unsafe to play with.

It doesn’t do what is supposed to do
Color: Blue
Wasn’t impressed..,all the ball does is vibrate. It doesn’t really bounce

My dogs fight over it
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Easy to use, durable, and has a great battery love. At first my dogs were curious and unsure about it, now its become one of their favorite toys. They'll stare at it while its being charged and impatiently wait for it so they can have fun again. Perfect size for most breeds.

Great dog birthday gift
Love it. Is it the best ball ever? No. I love it because my dog can find it if he lost track of it while I was poorly throwing the ball. Also, if it starta getting dark out and he has it in his mouth, I know exactly where he is.
The glow is great! Pretty bright, changes colors, activatws after a hard bounce.
Changing the battery is easy and just takes a screwdriver.
Bounce is pretty good.
Dog really likes it. He likes things that glow.
It has held up so far, and one of the other dogs, who likes to destroy things, got ahold of it. He is working on not wrecking things, but I know he tried for a little bit and there has been no damage.
The ball does have quite a bit of heft to it, so a small-ish dog isn't going to like the size or weight, likely.
