For almost 600 years, the printed book has provided education, entertainment, information, and guiltier pleasures. The supreme achievements of culture, as well as day-to-day needs, have depended on print-on-paper. Today, the supremacy of Gutenberg's technology seems under threat from a range of electronic devices and alternative media. Iain Stevenson asks, in a UCL Lunch Hour Lecture (Darwin Lecture Theatre 13:15–13:55 Thursday 11 March 2010), can books survive or is this the end of their shelf life.
Professor Stevenson is also taking part in a pod-cast with Professor Henry Woudhuysen, Dean of UCL Arts and Humanities to mark World Book day on 4th March Shelf life: The future of the book
