This work challenges us to contemplate both the effects and the responsibilities, and also to examine carefully the nuances of these experiences.
Synopsis: This thought-provoking collection of essays is essential reading for anyone who cares about cultural institutions and their role in the community of learners. These institutions_often museums or libraries_have the power to profoundly alter our sense of ourselves and of the world around us, but that power carries with it obligations. David Carr challenges us to contemplate both the effects and the responsibilities, to examine carefully the nuances of these experiences.
