"Esmalt vormime meie tööriistad, seejärel vormivad tööriistad meid." - Marshall McLuhanJust praegu toimub tehnoloogiline revolutsioon - murrang tehisintellekti arengus. Et mõista, kuidas see võib kujundada meie tulevikku, peame vaatama minevikku. Meile meeldib mõelda, et oleme teistest loomadest intelligentsemad ja nutikamad. Ilmselt on selles ka omajagu tõtt, kuid enamik inimkonna kõige pöördelisematest uuendustest on loodud viimase paarisaja aasta või isegi viimaste aastakümnete jooksul. Seega ei saa me väita, et oleme liigina nii lühikese ajaga intelligentsemaks muutunud. Mis siis võib olla inimkonna hüppelise arengu põhjus? See raamat pakub inimkonna saavutustele senisest erineva selgituse: selleks on informatsioon. Inimkond on ajaloo jooksul välja töötanud üha uusi viise informatsiooni jagada, talletada ja töödelda - alates koopamaalingutest ja märgisüsteemidest kuni kirja- ja trükikunsti ning raadioside, arvutite ja internetini. Kõik need uuendused on kaasa toonud revolutsiooni ja liikumise uuele arenguastmele. Raamat annab suurepärase ülevaate kommunikatsiooni ja informatsiooni arengust alates kaugest minevikust kuni tänapäevani. Tundes informatsiooni ajalugu ja mõistes selle mõju inimkonnale, saame aimata ka oma tulevikku.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2025***A journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. The debut non-fiction book by best-selling author Chris Haughton. History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why. Why is it that we had kings and queens at all? Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies? Why did the world’s religions rise around the same time? Why is society dominated by men? The answers all come down to the same thing: information. The striving to share information, and – at the same time – the striving to undermine it, explains so much of today's world and connects so many seemingly unconnected things: the rise of religions, states, science, democracy, the west, militarism, racism, fascism, consumerism, big tech, polarisation, and AI. This history of information is closely connected to the history of visual communication – and as these two are largely the same – it makes sense to tell this story visually: a history of graphics told through graphics. The History of Information, through a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, clearly breaks down and explains each concept for children and adults alike. The History of Information includes:A beautiful look at the story of information; from the first languages and cave paintings, through to how we communicate and record information today. Content written and illustrated by world famous and multi-award winning author and illustrator, Chris Haughton. A global journey throughout history from the origination of language, how information has been passed on and recorded, and how this affected humanity.

"A fun read-aloud. . . . Female empowerment and penguin parenting at its best." --Kirkus Reviews "She'll be back soon, won't she?" "She sure will," says Daddy Penguin. The sky may be dark over icy waters, but Mommy Penguin is off to catch some fish for dinner. As Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense, Mommy swims, jumps, and climbs up a slippery slope, barely avoiding a plunge back into the sea. Well done There's just one more hurdle to overcome, past some grumpy, just-awakened seals, before she returns to her anxiously waiting family. With a nod to the fascinating nature of penguin parenting, this boldly illustrated adventure from the creator of Little Owl Lost and Oh No, George will have little ones happily on the edge of their seat as they root for Mommy Penguin.

"Perfect for group sharing. . . . Haughton's skilled use of color, composition, and page-turns heightens the drama." --The Horn Book (starred review) Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. "OK, monkeys I'm off," says the big monkey. "Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there." Mmm . . . mangoes think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . Maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton, creator of Don't Worry, Little Crab, crafts a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries--and indulging your impish side (when nobody is looking).
