The Gutenberg Elegies
The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age
Sven Birkerts; With a New Introduction and Afterword
Faber and Faber, Inc.
"Birkerts' argument is persuasive, not only in its content but in its manner. His writing, which questions and muses at the leisurely pace of human speech, and which evinces both intelligence and feeling, reveals a complex individual personality, providing that vertical kind of connectedness that a thousand e-mail messages cannot."—

This Land Is Their Land
Reports from a Divided Nation
Barbara Ehrenreich
A Metropolitan/Holt Paperbacks Book
"Ehrenreich is at her best (and she’s very, very good) when chronicling the outrageous human downside of our economy, the costs it imposes on people who can’t afford a bacon-infused old-fashioned. There’s the hospital worker whose employer garnished her paycheck for an emergency room visit, 'a condition of debt servitude reminiscent of early-20th-century company towns.' There’s the poor man who got himself arrested in order to live more comfortably in prison, because 'we are reaching the point . . . where the largest public housing program in America will be our penitentiary system' . . . A tight and chilling companion volume to
Nickel and Dimed
, Ehrenreich’s account of her own experience working undercover in the low-wage economy."—

Right of the Dial
The Rise of Clear Channel and the Fall of Commercial Radio
Alec Foege
Faber and Faber, Inc.
"[Foege] is particularly adept at translating the medium's culture and technology for a lay audience . . . to those who care deeply about what has been lost, culturally, as Clear Channel has taken command of the public airwaves these last four decades, Foege's effort is a noble one. And the story he tells is as important as it is unnerving."—

Media Unlimited, Revised Edition
How the Torrent of Images and Sounds Overwhelms Our Lives
Todd Gitlin
Holt Paperbacks
"We owe a profound thanks to Todd Gitlin for opening our eyes to a phenomenon that is so omnipresent it can seem invisible. Media is not just what we see on TV, it is the infrastructure in which we live our lives, not just 'content' but environment. Gitlin is our expert environmental guide through this modern wilderness, a place where rivers flow with projected images, forests are thickets of sounds, and the sky is filled with advertisements."—

Fighting for Air
The Battle to Control America's Media
Eric Klinenberg
Holt Paperbacks
"A riveting look into every part of what is called the 'media ecosystem,' which includes the Internet as well as newspapers, radio and television. Klinenberg grounds all of his reporting in human terms and gives concrete examples of what happens when too few own too much and, worse, control what information will be disseminated to the people. He also wisely includes news of the victories being achieved by media activists."—
