Tablets were in use even up to the 19th century in different parts of the world, including Chile, Germany, the Philippines, and even the Sahara Desert. Example of hieroglyphics on a tablet.

From what I understand though, it changes the focus of the series away from Imperial forces battling Chaos and onto the Space Wolves facing off against the greenskin menace led by the legendary ork warlord Ghazgkhull Thraka. The first book in the brand new Dawn of Fire series, this effectively takes place as the Indomitus Crusade begins. If you haven’t already read Dark Imperium , this is definitely the place to start with the Era Indomitus stories. There’s lots about Guilliman and masses of great new lore, but also all sorts of interesting arcs featuring the Imperial Navy, the Inquisition and the Administratum. Today, everybody expects to be entertained, and they expect to be entertained all the time. Business meetings must be snappy, with bullet lists and animated graphics, so executives aren’t bored. Malls and stores must be engaging, so they amuse as well as sell us. Politicians must have pleasing video personalities and tell us only what we want to hear. Schools must be careful not to bore young minds that expect the speed and complexity of television. Students must be amused — everyone must be amused, or they will switch: switch brands, switch channels, switch parties, switch loyalties. This is the intellectual reality of Western society at the end of the century.”

If you’re a fan of Inquisitor Greyfax, this four-part audio drama is the next step in her story after Eye of Night. It also heavily features Saint Celestine, and has brilliant performances from Katherine Tate (Greyfax) and Emma Gregory (Celestine). I wouldn’t say it was essential to the ongoing story, but it provides a good look at the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition post-Great Rift. During the Middle Ages, monks copied books by hand, line by line, which made it very expensive to own a book. In fact, each book was essentially a unique hand crafted item, personalized by the scribe, the bookbinder, the owner, and the illustrator.

Also set on Terra, this takes a different approach to The Carrion Throne and shows the same time period through the eyes of the Imperial Chancellor, a Sister of Silence and a member of the Adeptus Custodes. It also features a BIG battle which takes place roughly simultaneously with the tail end of Rise of the Primarch. Stern and the ITC employees repair the transit pad just in time for the historians' return. Marek, who has always wanted to live in the Middle Ages, decides to stay behind, while Chris, Kate, and Johnston return to the present.

Present-day, Southwest France, an archeological dig near Castlegard at what used to be Monastery of Sainte-Mère, near the Dordogne River reveals a single bifocal lens that looks to be of Yale's Professor Johnston and hand written note "HELP ME 4/7/1357". Scientists did carbon dating and other testings of the ink and parchment and confirmed it to be over 600 years old. ITC protocol prohibits anyone from stepping into the past, but the Professor apparently did.

Book 2 in the Dawn of Fire series, this portrays the next steps in the early stages of the Indomitus Crusade. It takes place on/on the way to Gathalamor, as a mixed force of Imperial soldiery – led by Shield-Captain Achallor of the Custodes – races to keep the vital shrine world from Abaddon’s grip. It’s a bit more of an all-out action story than Avenging Son, but it’s a fun read and it expands the scope of the series even if it’s not exactly a sequel to the first book. At around this time, the skin of sheep and goats were used to make parchment, a more durable alternative to papyrus. Roman scholar Varro described the invention of parchment in the ancient city of Pergamum as springing from the shortage of papyrus.

I know next-door-to-nothing about quantum physics, but Crichton has such immense game that from beginning to end, I was convinced that he knew what the hell he was talking about. Crichton devotes awesome attention to just how a tech company might send a human being across time and retrieve them. The team he assembles for this mission is expertly considered as well: historians, physicists and soldiers for hire, whose combat training turns out to be antithetical to exploring history. With the invention of the commercial microprocessor in the 1970s, the typing, layout, and design of books underwent an acceleration. It became easier to go through the process of editing and designing books.
