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.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
