Description: W. W. Norton & Company, 416 pages, $27.95 reviewed by Carl W. Scarbrough In Alex Gibney's 2015 documentary Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, a number of technology whizzes-Jobs included-make solemn pronouncements about how they expect Apple products to change the world. Paper mills were established in New Spain by the late sixteenth century to support a growing ecclesiastical printing industry in Central America. No paper mills were established in North America until 1690, but by the late nineteenth century, the continent's woodlands were being felled to feed increasingly large mills, thanks to the development of wood-pulp-based papers and mechanized papermaking. Disjointed passages like this last one stall discussions that could have been far more incisive and constrain explorations of the innumerable ways that paper supported the advancement of art and science, the economic boon it provided to ancient and modern cultures, and the amazing variety of papers and paper products that make our lives more productive, comfortable, and pleasurable.
