Description: "Marshall McLuhan, a central figure in the fields of communication studies and media ecology, is one of the most important and influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. This volume of original essays brings together 29 leading experts from a wide variety of academic disciplines, and from the media professions, to explore, assess, critique, and extend McLuhan's rich and controversial legacy. The contributors to this anthology address such diverse areas as communication studies, journalism, literature, art and art history, archeology, computer science, digital media, philosophy, theology, law, history, psychology, sociology, political science, and cultural studies.

The Legacy of McLuhan goes further than any previous study in showing the broad and far-reaching impact of the thought, the publication and the life of Herbert Marshall McLuhan."--Jacket.
