Author Description

'10x10 is a wise reminder of the power that certain monumental canonical texts of the past, veritable cathedrals of ideas, have had and continue to have in the minds of significant thinkers. Even in an age focused on increasing opportunities for publishing made possible by new technologies, it is often from these same great arteries of thoughts that fresh and sustaining thinking is drawn.' Frank A. Moretti, professor, Teachers College, Columbia University and Executive Director, Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning '10x10 gives a unique insight into the relations great academics have with great books. It brings together very important works, very prominent scholars, and the personal and often very different views they have of both classics and less well-known, sometimes surprising, sources of inspiration.' Ove K. Pedersen, Professor and Director of the International Center for Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School
