HRD. Zustand: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Our lives are collections of informationfrom mundane official documents, poignant family photos, and random artifacts to the cues embodied in our genes. Never is this more evident than in the wake of a parents death. Yet from all these elusive, even evanescent, data points, history is written and a future is made. This information is stored on clay tablets and wood pulp; in vinyl grooves, compact discs and magnetic patterns; and relayed over undersea cables and satellite cell networks. But all information decays. Everything that we put in formation eventually collapses into randomness. In this wideranging examination of the micro and macro, worldrenowned scholar Thomas S. Mullaney reflects on the deaths of his parents, and on how human lives disappear. Lyrical and poignant, his erudite, inspiring meditation offers eyeopening insight on the miracle of existence, and on what it means to forge meaning from a chaotic universe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
