In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the
World It Made
Norman F. Cantor
March 2001 $13.95 |
|
The author believes that our future may be threatened by epidemics as devastating as the
Black Death, whether brought on by natural causes or by bio-terrorism.
Surveying recent biomedical research on the Black Death, he believes that two diseases
were at work in the 14th century the Bubonic Plague, long identified as the major
component of the Black Death, and a variety of anti-humanoid Anthrax. The result was
devastating, with up to 40 percent of Europe's population dying from the diseases. Among
the historical consequences, Cantor believes, was the end of the Plantagenets'
Anglo-French Empire

What Liberal Media?: The Truth About Bias and the
News
Eric Alterman |
|
What Liberal Media? confronts the question of liberal bias and
provides a sharp and utterly convincing assessment of the realities of political bias in
the news. In distinct contrast to the conclusions reached by Ann Coulter, Bernard
Goldberg, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'reilly, Alterman finds the media to be far more
conservative than liberal. The fact that conservatives howl so much louder and more
effectively than liberals is one big reason that big media is always on its guard for
"liberal" bias but gives conservative bias a free press.

Laws of Media: The New Science

Paperback, 252pp
Pub:September 1992
Publisher: University of Toronto Press |
|
Commonweal - Paul Connolly
Marshall McLuhan wanted to break the bondage not only of print but also of dialectical
thinking. The McLuhans' 'new science' is actually a new rhetoric that substitutes
situatedness for viewpoint. A logical mind may despair of this book's analogical
reasoning, but it is full of open space that invites thought. |
