It is not exactly desktop publishing, though it involves such publishing modes centrally. Neither has it been confined to limited edition or vanity publishing, though it has involved these as well. Neither is it a traditional publisher nor an alternative publisher on demand , though also it has reflected facets of both methods. It is not any of these things, though it combines elements and functions of all of these things.</div> <bR> <div> It can be said that Lewis Publications today is an electronic based forum for the production and dissemination of new texts about the world, the style of which texts have been increasingly shaped and influenced by the constraints and possibilities afforded by electronic digital information processing and storage. Paper production of texts and paper-based processing, storage and presentation of information has become increasingly a subordinated mode, a backup, but one alternative modality among a range of possibilities. Lewis Micropublishing encompasses this range of possibilities that have been created through the electronic, digital information revolution. Though  there remains a place for paper-based texts, in the publishing business, in education, in record keeping, in libraries that are increasingly book basements and storage facilities rather than collective centers for reading and research, this is becoming rapidly narrowed by and peripheralized to the major thrust of collective attention and the rise of new varieties of electronic literacy. </div> <bR> <div> To date, Lewis Publications has been primarily and exclusively the forum for the publications of Hugh M. Lewis. Though it has been only this thus far, it has come to represent and function as something greater than this. It entails a new beginning in how we value and cultivate learning and literacy in the world, as something meant to be as freely shared with the world as possible. As we are given the electronic means to open our minds, we become less and less susceptible to the illusions and deceptions of interests who would seek to bound our view of the world within certain ideological and symbolic parameters. It is not surprising therefore that both authoritarian and relatively democractic governments alike are racing to stay ahead of the development of the Internet in their respective countries, to develop means of controlling, limiting, spying upon and manipulating the worldwide web and people's access and experience through it.</div> <bR> <div> Growing worldwide readership attests to the inherent interest and functional efficacy of the organizational platform and mission of Lewis Publications. It defies some of the central vanities and prejudices concerning the legitimization and control of knowledge in the world, and, as a part of a larger information revolution, it is continuing and increasing to threaten to undermine the very functional and symbolic foundations of the established order of privileged and sumptuary knowledge in the world.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <script language="Javascript" src="https://seal.starfieldtech.com/getSeal?sealID=720039320071f8c61f12710b91e37cc117a4b091897591454247040"></script>  </div> <bR> <div>  <p align="center"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) </script> <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth} else {c=screen.pixelDepth} j=navigator.javaEnabled() </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");} NS2Ch=0 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1} if (NS2Ch == 0) { r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"" pr("<A HREF=\"http://www.TheCounter.com\" TARGET=\"_top\"><IMG"+ " BORDER=0 SRC=\"http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383"+r+"\"><\/A>")} </script> <NOSCRIPT> <a HREF="http://www.TheCounter.com" TARGET="_top"><img SRC="http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383" ALT="TC" BORDER="0" width="88" height="31"></a> </NOSCRIPT>   </div> <bR> <div>    </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
