By the author of THE GUTENBERG GALAXY; UNDERSTANDING THE MEDIA; and THE MECHANICAL BRIDE. From the review by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. in Book Week (03/19/1967): "Underneath the hyperbole and the vaudeville there remains a significant and fertile truth. If one cannot explain history entirely as a result of alterations in the means of communication, anymore than one can explain it entirely as a result of alterations in the means of production, we nevertheless stand in debt to McLuhan for a marvelously stimulating insight into the dynamics of change." From Tom Wolfe: "I pay attention to every one of Marshall's insights, no matter how implausible they seem at the time, because he has been proven right over and over again." Keywords: Media Studies. Advertising. Electric Technology. Global Village. Communication. . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/Good DJ (tape reinforced). 160pp.…

Store description
About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
