The Library as Learning Matrix: The Art of the Box Lunch

A volume of essays – one by a professor and several by his students – that forms a kind of literary soufflé, folding together ideas about food and society, culture and collecting, libraries and learning. The learning described and evident in these pages is learning in the most authentic sense: the process that informs and re-forms an individual's identity and relationship with the surrounding world.
