Nicholas Basbanes neues Buch sollte hier umfangreicher angezeigt werden, aber da ich es noch nicht kenne, verweise ich auf eine ausführliche Besprechung: In his new book, Mr. Basbanes leaves behind the fragrance of fine leather bindings and the Oxbridge atmosphere of finely arched library rooms; he fixes his eye instead on the killing fields of cultural elimination. From the razing of Carthage to the Serbian leveling of Bosnian repositories, he examines the bonfires that have consumed entire centuries of manâ??s musings on matters great and small.
