DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite the fact that many have buried him prematurely like some madman in an Edgar Allen Poe story, Marshall McLuhan was, and is, one of the most brilliant and original thinkers of the 20th century. McLuhan pioneered the study of Media, unified Art and Science, and warned readers about this televised, computerised world. In the wake of the centennial celebration of McLuhan's life, it is appropriate to bring back the basics of his teachings. This book culminates in a rich translation of McLuhan's examination of how media turned the planet into the Global Village.
