From the Mesopotamians to Aztecs, writing and books (or scrolls in some cases) have been the influencing factor in the societies. I agree with this statement because it defines books as the higher power in creating and developing governments, communities, and even religions. In examples from Introduction to Book History, the writers of the books have the ability to shape a way that a person looks at a civilization and even define its existence.

That is the most wonderful thing about books because it allows the reader to go back in time, to expand their knowledge, and form opinions based on the information gained.
In this statement, the words of the book are just letter stringed together with the occasional punctuation breaking up the ideas. However, when the letters are looked at as words and as part of an overall idea that the author is putting into the paragraphs, the “sum of [the] ideas” are “far greater than the parts” (Hamel and Olmert, 20).

Now I know that there was a big Spanish attempt to conquer lands in America, and the unification of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella made that happen. There were many different reasons why a European would move to the New World, it could go from religious freedom or to embrace the possibility of a more prosperous life.

There was a lot of interesting information about Native
