BOOK EXCERPT:
This exciting new text traces the common themes in the long and complex history of mass communication. It shows how the means of communicating grew out of their eras, how they developed, how they influenced the societies of those eras, and how they have continued to exert their influence upon subsequent generations. The book is divided into six periods which are identified as 'Information Revolutions' writing, printing, mass media, entertainment, the 'toolshed' (which we call 'home' now), and the Information Highway. In looking at the ways in which the tools of communication have influenced and been influenced by social change, A History of Mass Communication provides students of media and journalism with a strong sense of the way their chosen field affects how society functions. Providing a broad-based approach to media history, Dr. Fang encourages the reader to take a careful look at where our culture is headed through the tools we use to communicate with one another. A History of Mass Communication is not only the most current text on communication history, but also an invaluable resource for anyone interested in how methods of communication affect society.

BOOK EXCERPT:
'An excellent introduction to a complex and quickly changing field, this book is written in nontechnical prose and will best serve upper-level undergraduate students. His (Prof Williams) orientation reflects concern with modern communication industries. The book presents an insightful glimpse at how the communications revolution is likely to change those industries. It should be in every undergraduate academic library.' -- Choice, February l982 'If you've been looking for a book which neatly summarizes the many and complex elements of the telecommunication and information revolution now underway, look no further...The Communications Revolution is, frankly, a very good book.
