04.29: Masters of the Word: How Media Shaped History

2013-03-15 02:35:55| Powells Books Events Calendar

William J. Bernstein's A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World, an Economist and Financial Times Best Book of the Year, placed him firmly among the top flight of historians like Jared Diamond and Bill Bryson, capable of distilling major trends and reams of information into insightful, globe-spanning popular narrative. In Masters of the Word: How Media Shaped History (Grove Press), Bernstein (also a practicing neurologist) masterfully guides the reader through the vast history of communications, from the advent of writing to the rise of the internet, social media, and cell phones. He explains how new communication technologies, and in particular our access to them, impacted human society.
