 Neil
Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death. Television has
conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining material measured out
in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of rational public discourse and
reasoned public affairs. In this eloquent, persuasive book, Neil Postman
alerts us to the real and present dangers of this state of affairs, and
offers compelling suggestions as to how to withstand the media
onslaught. |
