Book Features vs Network Development

The New York report - Robert Kaplan's frivolous book "really nothing," is perfectly fitting for the description of zero. He is a Harvard mathematics expert in the group of knowledgeable authors who like to leave a space for inspiration and ideas in the book.

Kaplan's 225-page book, skipped by a 78-page bibliography, can be seen on the website of his publisher, Oxford University's Printing Department.

Bibliography - The traditional architecture support system for authors has shifted from the preservation of books to digital web pages. Publishers said that they included bookmarks to the bibliographic URLs so that anyone who wants to read can easily access the Internet. The advantage is that the book is smaller, cheaper, and portable.

What is surprising is that some authors are very supportive of such changes, but there are also strong opposition.

Larry Cohen, an author of the printing department at MIT, said "Of course we encourage our authors to do their best to put more things on the site to replace these academic and popular trade books." The space has grown longer and longer, and we have also worked hard to find out how the agreement can be divided into parts and make young readers interested. ""

However, not everyone agrees with this idea.

"I think that's scary," said Peter Lyman, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley's Department of Library and Books Libraries. "As long as you are in a natural situation, you don't have to meet acid and put it under natural temperature and humidity." The book will be a stable medium of media propaganda tools. Digital technology changes too fast, and many sites closed down in about 18 months, the site is too illiterate, unlike books can extend for decades or centuries." .

Since the 18th century, bibliography has supported academic bibliographies by organizing unstructured intellectual records. The influence of the reference list, the head-ups, and the interviews to the new book is a path for scholars and readers, enabling them to obtain evidence of support in the theoretical and controversial points.

Deciding to reduce the volume of books has caused intense debate among authors, publishers, file holders, and the most annoying thing for them is that if they are published via the Internet, some books will begin to dispense with paper.

"I think the release of a book is based on questions," said one librarian at the University of California at Berkeley. "We don't know which type of distribution such as books or the network is continuous. However, we don't know how to save the network bytes for hundreds of years; we only know that the paper can be stored for a long time, and the digital network platform The facilities are so illusory; can you know that you can still read these things from the Internet after 15 years?"

This issue is still a source of doubt for everyone. For example, the Book Society is trying hard to raise money to find a program to preserve digital data. ""

Although the answer has not yet been found, some publishers still believe that the use of dismantling type to sell, in the appearance of packaging and prices will be more popular. It is a natural choice for some of the information attached to them after the book to be omitted because only a small portion of readers will actually read this part. The word "bibliography" in bibliography originates from the Greek word "bibliographia" and is interpreted literally as the compilation of books. Scholars often use the word bibliography as an academic tool.

Some authors are proud of the significant discovery of this source, because it has allowed them to extend the scope of their work and support their theoretical credibility. The author of Jill Watts was asked by her publisher (Oxford University Printing Department) about the idea that the bibliography and notes were electronically segmented by the Internet. Watts, an associate professor who teaches at California State University, said: "She was very surprised when she heard this idea and asked some authors and scholars to give advice." She said: "If such academic tools disappear, then we will Go back to when the early authors couldn't prove the source but said anything they wanted to say."

After Watts got an agreement with the editor of Oxford University, she decided to include the reference list and find the number of pages for writing notes and this article instead of deletion.

One reason the printing department at Oxford University is very enthusiastic about keeping notes and bibliographies is that they often feel financial pressure. In order to expand their relationship with readers, these publishers try to find books that can be sold in more popular markets, which means that packaging is not so important and not practical.

The printing department of Rutger University is beginning to experiment with this idea. The publisher asked one of their authors, Stephen Brush, to streamline a newly revised 500-page textbook, "Medical: Human Adventure."

The University of Maryland history professor Brush and the publisher reached an agreement and agreed to publish his 100-page bibliography instead of rewriting and organizing the textbook. He said: It can still be seen whether it is operating or not, even if it is not agreed by the online moderator or publisher. "This kind of transfer is like the little baby wanting to go to something bigger," he said. "What I worry about is the pressure to put the entire book on the web."

The question of who will maintain the website raises more questions?! If this is the responsibility of the author, what happens when he is sick or dying?! If this is the work of the publisher, what should the publisher do when it closes? ?!"

The printing department at MIT encountered some problems. After a professor (textbook author) died, unable to maintain the website, many readers complained about why the above reference book was not available.

Kaplan, the author of "There is really nothing" in this book, is still from the results of his experience in disassembling the book. His electronic reference makes his references more organized - usually with the feedback of his readers. And he believes that the lighter style of this book will have unpredictable success.

Kaplan said: "There will be no other claims." "Because publishers would not be successful in gaining big and heavy books, I don't want my book to be released without reference to bibliographic support. From the point of view of controversy, we are like idiots," said Peter Ginna, Kaplan's editorial staff at Oxford. "Kaplan's book is the best book our company sells, and the fifth edition has now been revised."

However, there are still some publications that need to be improved. Italian and German translations forget to include bookmarks on the site. Some readers who reread Kaplan's book criticized how there were no bibliographies in the book. They did not know that bookmarks actually indicated that other items such as bibliography were available on the Internet.
