Product Review
“Arthur Asa Berger has taken a refreshingly creative approach to introducing ideas central to analyses of media and popular culture. This delightful book will not only enliven courses in media studies, but also prime students to read more of the seminal texts defining one of the most vibrant areas of the communication field.” William H. Dutton, University of Oxford
“Reading this book is like going through a museum with a master critic and collector. Berger’s compelling and witty essay opens the door to great thinkers and scholars, some from the distant past, some quite contemporary. There is no other book with a broader perspective that truly makes its readers stretch, though the process is always enjoyable.” Everette E. Dennis, Fordham University
