DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;Has the age of the book passed us by? Has technology r
 eally taken over? Do the potential benefits of digital access outweigh t
 he loss of browsing in bookstores and makingnotes in margins? Harvard Un
 iversity Library Director\, and author of The Case for Books feels that 
 the book is not dead. In fact\, the world is producing more books than e
 ver before\, with one million new books soon to be produced each year. &
 ldquo\;But the future is digital. And I believe that if we can resolve t
 he current challenges facing books in ways that favor ordinary citizens\
 , we can create a digital republic of letters.&rdquo\;&nbsp\;\nRobert Da
 rnton is the author and editor of over two dozen books\, including The C
 ase for Books: Past\, Present\, and Future. Darnton was educated at Harv
 ard University and Oxford University\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar and
  has worked as a reporter for The New York Times\, taught at Princeton\,
  became Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the Uni
 versity Library at Harvard and has been a visiting professor or fellow a
 t many universities and institutes for advanced study. His outside activ
 ities include service as a trustee of the New York Public Library and th
 e Oxford University Press (USA).\nPre-registration is strongly recommend
