Here are some themes and topics from "The Library: An Illustrated History" by Stuart Murray that can help you draw connections to other books in a library:

*   **History of Libraries**: Explore the evolution of libraries from their origins in ancient Mesopotamia to modern times. This includes their architecture, collections, and role in society. 【1】【2】
*   **The Evolution of the Book**: Trace the changing forms of books from clay tablets and papyrus scrolls to printed books and digital formats. 【3】【4】
*   **Libraries as a Mirror of Society**: Consider how libraries reflect the values, knowledge, and cultural heritage of different societies throughout history. 【4】
*   **The Role of Readers**: Examine the relationship between libraries and their users, and how the needs and expectations of readers have shaped the development of libraries. 【5】
*   **Destruction and Preservation**: Investigate the destruction of libraries through war and other disasters, as well as the efforts to preserve and protect these important cultural institutions. 【6】
*   **Libraries in Different Cultures**: Compare and contrast the development of libraries in different regions of the world, such as ancient Greece, China, and colonial North America. 【7】【8】
*   **The Human Condition**: Libraries embody the human condition through creation, destruction, rescue, neglect, discovery, and cherishment. 【4】
