This new and expanded edition of Revolutions in Communication, the 3rd edition, explores printing, imaging, electronic and digital media history within a framework of technological change and social impacts.Using key figures in history to benchmark the chronology of technical innovation, Kovarik''s scholarship narrates the story of revolutions in printing, electronic communication and digital information, while drawing parallels between the past and present. This edition builds on the success of the previous two editions as a leading media history textbook. The 3rd edition includes: - Digital media technology, impacts and expectations that have changed since 2015. - Updated and additional information that has become recently available, including: declassified histories of super-computers, the US news media’s record on civil rights, Gutenberg’s printing experiments in the 1440s, the role of the 1796 invention of lithography and improving the printing and culture of music. - A sharper international focus and effort to avoid the impression that Europe is more or less at the center of mass media history.
