The Promise of Cultural Institutions (American Association for State and Local History Book Series)

Rating:
Summary: Amazing book, extremely important subject matter.
Review: In a world dominated by the quest for information, but not for knowledge, Dr. Carr's book is a refreshing breeze that brings us all back to the roots of learning. He shows us that being chained to our computers will not bring us wisdom or enlightenment, however, it is the enrichment of our minds and our souls through society's repository of invaluable information which brings revelations about who we are and where we are going.

I highly recommend this work for any person who has ever been to a zoo, a library, a museum, a botantical garden, or any other place that contains a collection. I guarantee that you will never look at those places the same way again.
