Communication in History Summary

Communication in History: Technology, Culture, Society: United States Edition by David Crowley

Updated in a new 6th edition, Communication in History reveals how media has been influential in both maintaining social order and as powerful agents of change.

With revised new readings, this anthology continues to be, as one reviewer wrote, the only book in the sea of History of Mass Communication books that introduces readers to a more expansive, intellectually enlivening study of the relationship between human history and communication history. From print to the Internet, this book encompasses a wide-range of topics, that introduces readers to a more expansive, intellectually enlivening study of the relationship between human history and communication history.
