Making Connections: Communication Through the AgesScarecrow Press, 2002 - 365 pages Meadow takes us on a Cook's tour of communication technologies across time_the alphabet and moveable type printing, cave drawings and carrier pigeons, telephones, television and, of course, the Internet. In each case, Meadow shows how these (and other devices) are connected to each other, even as they serve to make connections between people. |
