About this title

Synopsis

Explores the widest possible range of technologies, from broadcast to telephone, and from wired to wireless. Provides the history of the technology, a description of the technology, the latest developments, and an extensive bibliography. Deals not only
with the hardware of the technology but also with the software, the organisational structure, the political and economic influences, and the individual users of the technology.


August E Grant is Associate professor and Area Head for the Mass Communication Sequence in the Department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin.

Review

' It is well written and interesting to read. As each chapter is written by a
different person it keeps up a lively, almost 'chatty' presentation in parts.
It does presume that the reader is not an absolute beginner, but even if
you were you would probably be able to make sense of it.
I can recommend it to anyone who needs to know about communication
technology '
