THE WILEY BICENTENNIAL-KNOWLEDGE FOR GENERATIONS
~~~~~
Gachgeneration has its unique needs and aspirations. When Charles Wiley first
opened his small printing shop in lower Manhattan in 1807, it was a generation
of boundless potential searching for an identity. And we were there, helping to
define a new American literary tradition. Over half a century later, in the midst
of the Second Industrial Revolution, it was a generation focused on building the
future. Once again, we were there, supplying the critical scientific, technical, and
engineering knowledge that helped frame the world. Throughout the 20th
Century, and into the new millennium, nations began to reach out beyond their
own borders and a new munity was born. Wiley was there,
expanding its operations around the world to enable a global exchange of ideas,
opinions, and know-how.
For 200 years, Wiley has been an integral part of each generation’s journey,
enabling the flow of information and understanding necessary to meet their needs
and fulfill their aspirations. Today, bold new technologies are changing the way
we live and learn. Wiley will be there, providing you the must-have knowledge
you need to imagine new worlds, new possibilities, and new opportunities.
e and go, but you can always count on Wiley to provide you the
knowledge you need, when and where you need it!
