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.
