Reviews
This volume explores the impact of the new multimedia environment on the humanities--in higher education and the larger society. . . . Marc notes, 'empiricism has so utterly eclipsed intuitive, imaginative sensibility as a salient standard of truth in Western civilization that the humanities are treated as a kind of quaint ornament to real thinking.' . . . Sharp, stimulating, often controversial essays, including a thoughtful analysis of the history of TV criticism., A zippy jeremiad that berates the humanities for snobbishly failing to attend to society's most symptomatic medium. . . . With its tangents, autobiographical anecdotes, energy, indecorum, and voice, this book is for, as well as about, the TV age. . . . Marc is a provocative, worthy scion of Seldes and McLuhan., David Marc writes about television intelligently, with wit and real insight. . . . [He] hates what the humanities have become: a zone for turf wars between the trendy, who don't care about literature, and the anal retentives who prepare reading lists.

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
