Alphabet to Internet: Media in Our Lives, 2nd ed.
In this one-volume history of media and mass communication, Fang takes an ambitious look at how new modes of communication change lives and change history. It appears that every generation gets a new medium to connect to the world around them—from Neanderthal cave drawings to the Pony Express to radio to iPads. This second edition has been updated and includes some illustrations as well as lists for further research and extensive endnotes. Recommended for academic collections and general readers interested in media and society. --Rebecca Vnuk
