It is also a dynamic device, readily transformed to suit the needs of contemporary readers. In \u003cem\u003eHow the Page Matters\u003c\/em\u003e, Bonnie Mak explores how changing technology has affected the reception of visual and written information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMak examines the fifteenth-century Latin text \u003cem\u003eControversia de nobilitate\u003c\/em\u003e in three forms: as a manuscript, a printed work, and a digital edition. Transcending boundaries of time and language, \u003cem\u003eHow the Page Matters\u003c\/em\u003e connects technology with tradition using innovative new media theories. While historicizing contemporary digital culture and asking how on-screen combinations of image and text affect the way conveyed information is understood, Mak's elegant analysis proves both the timeliness of studying interface design and the persistence of the page as a communication mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonnie Mak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442615354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442615359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 0.40d","brand":"Bonnie Mak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066218672383,"sku":"9781442615359","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb327654-8ff8-4669-b1a6-29c082157a6e.jpg?v=1685405975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-the-page-matters-bonnie-mak-9781442615359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
