It is difficult to imagine a world in which there is no book. To her we are accustomed to from childhood, she reveals to us the wonderful mysteries of life and gave useful advice at a difficult moment, taught us to understand ourselves.
The major purpose of the book - to preserve the knowledge accumulated over centuries, and transmit them to future generations. Because of this was made possible the rapid progress of humanity in the past century in the field of science. Most scientific discoveries are made on the basis of the previously accumulated and systematized information, the results of experiments from around the world. The knowledge that we receive from the books allow us to move forward without wasting time on finding that someone already known. Book, we owe the fact that today we can enjoy the masterpieces of ancient literature.
Communication with the book helps a person to develop and improve. For in order to understand the meaning that the author tries to convey to the reader, should be read carefully, carefully, to connect their own experience, to be able to analyze the information. And if the reader is possible, before it opens a whole world of interesting events, deep spiritual experiences, intellectual discovery.
At all times, the book was treated as a shrine. Once, before the invention of printing technology, books were copied by hand, and their covers were adorned with gold and precious stones. Book book is considered to be the Bible - an ancient and eternal treasure trove of wisdom on all occasions that come to us through the complicated history of two millennia. Principles set out therein are relevant and life today.
The book, written many centuries ago, helps us to know the world and thinking of our ancestors, thus revealing the secrets of human nature. Through books we can trace the evolution of a person's world, social order, ethical standards. Books store all the known history of our existence on Earth.
Today, several book losing its position in relation to other high-tech means of communication. But, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with that. E-books that can be found on the Internet is much easier and faster access to information, the right person. But supporters of the traditional reading of books will always be a lot, because communication with the printed book is a special feeling, if you talk to a live person.
