230:"The systemic destruction of books is seen by some as a function of social and political problem-solving. Preservation may not be on top of the list of an invading army’s priorities. The head of President George W. Bush's cultural advisory committee, stepped down in protest over the US failure to stop the pillage, adding to international calls for action to protect Iraq's heritage. The United States quickly secured the airport, the Oil Ministry and a hotel, and failed to protect the museum and libraries in Bagdhad that were looted in 2003 and will never recover despite great efforts to restore and find what was taken."

book on it. I read both Knuth books, she is an
Associate Prof. in Hawaii and her books have been favorably reviewed by reliable sources like the ALA. I also read the Bosmajian book, Burning Books. He is the professor emeritus at Washington State and has published works on censorship and language for over 30 years. Getting more general sources would be possible, but would require re-wiring these already published works for Knowledge.

as the past of terms or categories that evolve. Book burning is a child of
Libricide- it also includes the buildings, the museums and libraries, and whole cultures whose expression is damaged permanently by their destruction. Books that have been burned can be reproduced quickly. I am a Library Science student.

Xnuala, I welcome your collaboration and input, recognizing that there is good sense in the consensus from AFD, and I'd like to follow-through. I have no commercial interests, just personal. Knowledge has been fascinating. I am not the best essay writer I have read. I felt that my handling of the

Having read the discussion and consdierations, it is not just Knuth, but
Bosmajian as well who is notable here. The Book Burning section on history doesn't bring it up into the present very effectively- that is my goal, as it is of Bosmajian and Knuth. Librarians must consider future forms as well

Rebecca Knuth instead, where her important works such as Libricide can be explored? I think Knuth would pass the notability criteria...as a Library Science students you must have access to a number of the peer-reviewed journals in that

I read the discussion on my article. I agree with you. I was perhaps too slanted in this comment. It is however, based on a report by Agence France presse. Perhaps they are illegitimate? I caught Dubya in my sights because it is a fairly recent act. Knuth spends the last chapter in her (2006)

I didn't email him for his defense, but I appreciate your bringing this to my attention. Stupid acts of opportunistic book burning are very far from what
Libricide is about and why it is important for all of us to recognize it, politically, historically, sociologically, legally. The intentional

Neil, the best place to begin working on a rework- at the moment anyway, is by adding ] to your userpage, this will make a sub-page for the article. This will keep it out of the way and allow you and other editors to tweak it a bit before making it public. 14:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Tom Wayne's crime was simply air pollution. To a larger extent, he neglected to consider others, which is not a crime proves his self-serving grandiosity proves why he deserves to be out of business. He is a loser because he only understands himself, if that.

Tom Wayne needs to stop complaining about the reading habits of others and read- books or the internet, himself. There are many charitable organizations that might have taken his books, including the local
