520			_a"This book is an attempt to find common themes in the long and complex history of communication. It endeavors to show how the means of communication grew out of their eras, how the tools were developed, how they influenced the societies of those eras, and how they have continued to exert influence upon subsequent generations. The book is divided into six periods that are identified as information revolutions, recognizing that the events that constitute an information revolution defy neat categorization. For example, motion pictures are both mass information and packaged entertainment. Placing certain events within a particular movement became a necessity for the sake of clarity and narrative flow."
