The definition of 'book' has evolved dramatically in our digital era. This course explores books through four essential perspectives: their physical form (materials, structure), their content (how they are written, read, collected, and sometimes banned), their technology (from Gutenberg's printing press to today's e-readers), and their artistic value.

In the popular imagination, lethal injection is a slight pinch and a swift nodding off to forever-sleep, performed by well-qualified medical professionals which is regulated and carefully conducted, and certainly the most 'humane' form of capital punishment.
