1504 Bookcases The History
The bookcase as it is recognised today should perhaps more correctly be known as the bookshelf.
Bookcases were actually enclosed cases used for protecting the books that were painstakingly written and then illustrated by hand up to and during the Middle Ages.
The development of printing press was the Internet revolution of its day. Now knowledge could be captured on paper and easily distributed. Critics who were used to knowledge being passed on from person to person were worried that if a book caught fire or was damaged, the knowledge would be lost forever, whereas committing knowledge to memory was much safer and more reliable.

After 300 years of Spanish rule, Mexico regained its independence in 1821. At this time the Country’s territory still included present-day Texas, California, Wyoming, Idaho, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. However, during the course of the 19th Century, these territories were all lost to the USA and, as if this wasn’t enough, in the 1860s the country was again invaded and colonised, this time by the French.
