From the author of the highly praised The Pencil and The Evolution of Useful Things comes another captivating history of the seemingly mundane: the book and its storage.
Most of us take for granted that our books are vertical on our shelves with the spines facing out, but Henry Petroski, inveterately curious engineer, didn't.As a result, readers are guided along the astonishing evolution from papyrus scrolls boxed at Alexandria to upright books shelved at the Library of Congress. Unimpeachably researched, enviably written, and charmed with anecdotes from Seneca to Samuel Pepys to a nineteenth-century bibliophile who had to climb over his books to get into bed, The Book on the Bookshelf is indispensable for anyone who loves books.
作者简介亨利·彼得洛斯基（Henry Petroski）素有“科技的桂冠诗人”之名，被推崇为“博学、机智、擅于深入浅出”的写作者。现任杜克大学土木工程学及历史教授，并担任土木及环境工程学系系主任。
著作包括：《铅笔》（The PenCil）、《利器》（The Evolution of UsefuI Things)、《重造世界》(remsking the World)d《梦的工程师》（Engineers of dreams）等。
