Innis there could have been no Marshall McLuhan. Empire and Communications is one of Innis’s most important contributions to the debate about how media influence the development of consciousness and societies. In this seminal text, he traces humanity’s movement from the oral tradition of preliterate cultures to the electronic media of recent times. Along the way, he presents his own influential concepts of oral communication, time and space bias, and monopolies of knowledge.ContributorsHarold A. InnisHarold A. Innis taught political economy at the University of Toronto for more than 30 years. He became internationally famous and published a number of influential books. Innis died in 1952.View Author Page Alexander John WatsonAlexander John Watson is the author of Marginal Man:The Dark Vision of Harold Innis and is the president and CEO of CARE Canada.View Author Page Book DetailsePubJanuary 2007-288 pp9781459721050PaperbackJanuary 20075.5x8.5 in288 pp9781550026627ePubJanuary 2007-288 pp9781550029086
