The Medium is the Massage; Marshall McLuhan; Quentin Fiore Gingko Press 2001 1584230703 / 9781584230700 PAPERBACK
New
1584230703 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 160 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. Medium is the Massage remains Marshall McLuhan's most popular book, perhaps as influential as Understanding Media. It is still one of the most insightful and provocative works ever to have been published on our modern culture. With every technological advance, McLuhan's theories reveal how prescient his insights actually proved to be. His thought is a guide to understanding environments, especially new ones as they enter and pervade society, like the computer is doing to biology and science (McLuhan heralded the marriage of electronics and biology) and how the world wide web is threatening to liberate the old information monopolies from governments and big corporations. Marshall McLuhan's books are published in more than a dozen languages. He is widely considered to be the most original thinker of the twentieth century. Quentin Fiore is one of America's most distinguished graphic designers and perhaps the most successful of all McLuhan collaborators. Jerome Agel has written and produced more than fifty books, including original visual interpretations of Marshall McLuhan's and Buckminster Fuller's work.

New

Audience: General/trade. Originally published in 1968, this sequel to Medium is the Massage was so prophetic that it has taken three decades to see how much the book guides our understanding of electric media. War and Peace in the Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates how electric technology ''stimulate more discontinuity and diversity and division than the old mechanical society. '' Interviewed by Playboy magazine a year after the book's release, McLuhan called our era a ''transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest. '' ''But, '' he added, ''the agony of our age is the labor pain of rebirth. '' Today, War and Peace in the Global Village speaks to a new generation, and a wider international audience. Marshall McLuhan's books are published in more than a dozen languages. He is widely considered to be the most original thinker of the twentieth century. Quentin Fiore is one of America's most distinguished graphic designers and perhaps the most successful of all McLuhan collaborators. Jerome Agel has written and produced more than fifty books, including original visual interpretations of Marshall McLuhan's and Buckminster Fuller's work.
