> The principle of Access to Knowledge (A2K) has become a common reference point
> for a diverse set of agendas that all hope to realize technological and human
> potential by making knowledge more accessible. This book is a history of
> international copyright focused on principles of A2K and their proponents.
> Whilst debate and discussion so far has covered the perspectives of major
> western countries, the author's fresh approach to the topic considers emerging
> countries and NGOs, who have fought for the principles of A2K that are now
> fundamental to the system. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book
> connects copyright history to current problems, issues and events.

>> "Sara Bannerman's thoughtful and compelling book is a must-read for all of
>> those interested in the challenges of increasing access to knowledge. She
>> offers historical perspective on the narrowing of the knowledge commons and
>> identifies opportunities for positive change going forward."
