<"Only connect>" is the guiding principle of this remarkable work-not only a dictionary of communication and media but also a liberal education that enables users to see interesting relationships between many of the concepts it discusses. Written in an accessible style, authoritative and up-to-date, this new edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Media and Communication is a path breaking work and an essential reference tool.
