## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good information, but
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011*

The book has a lot of arcane references. It tries to cover a lot of different aspects regarding the impact of communication media, but if you're looking for a "big picture" book, this might not be for you. It doesn't always connect the dots. It jumps between a lot of very specific examples. You sometimes wonder where they pull an example from. Ah, yes, Charles V visiting Bologna in 1529, of course. I remember it well.  An example from the chapter on print:"In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, small books became popular, the octavo, for instance, or the still smaller 12mo or 16mo format, which the famous Venetian printer Aldo Manuzio used for his editions of the classics."The authors drop a lot of knowledge like this throughout the book, not always with enough context. But it's sort of up to you to follow up with some of these historical events or figures if you want to know more about it.Edit: Ah, the authors are from the UK? I was wondering why John Logie Baird got more attention than Philo Pharnsworth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Dangerous Reading!

Asa is on it in this extensive assessment of media's impact on culture throughout time.
