"The medium used to be the message. But in the "collide-oscopic" barrage of image and text that resulted from Marshall McLuhan's 1967 collaboration with graphic designer Quentin Fiore, the medium becomes the massage. The basic premise of this playful popularization of McLuhan's theories of the electronic revolution will be familiar to readers of his other works: "Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a kno ..."

The Global Village(Reprint) Transformations in World Life and Media in the 21st Century (Communication and Society) by MarshallMcluhan, Bruce R. Powers Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 1992 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-507910-4, ISBN: 0-19-507910-8
""Culturally, what is happening now is titanic," Marshall McLuhan's collaborator, Bruce R. Powers, writes in the preface to The Global Village. Whether Powers means to suggest that we are all aboard a sinking ship is open to question. And even if we do register the apocalyptic allusion in Power's phrase, it helps to remember that an apocalypse isn't just a catastrophe; it's also a revelation. The Global Village is McLuhan's most theoreti ..."
"Reviews No one understood causality, whether Aristotelian or electric, like Marshall McLuhan. Now, in" Media and Formal Cause," no one reveals understanding of "formal "cause in the digital environment better than McLuhan's protege son, Eric. In the foreword, Lance Strate writes that M. McLuhan's "Understanding Media" was one of the most important books of the 20th century. For anyone who wishes to understand how things truly work, "Med ..."
"Say the name Marshall McLuhan and you think of the great discoverer's explorations of the media. But throughout his life, McLuhan never stopped reflecting profoundly on the nature of God and worship, and on the traditions of the Church. Often other intellectuals and artists would ask him incredulously, "Are you really a Catholic?" He would answer, "Yes, I am a Catholic, the worst kind -- a convert," leaving them more baffled than before ..."
"Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest."
"Culture Is Our Business is Marshall McLuhan's sequel to The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man. Returning to the subject of advertising newly armed with the electric sensibility that informed The Gutenberg Galaxy, Understanding Media, and The Medium Is the Massage, McLuhan takes on the mad men (a play on the ad men of Madison Avenue) of the sixties. Approaching commercial messages as unacknowledged art forms and cultural artif ..."

Understanding Media(Updated) (Routledge Classics) by MarshallMcluhan Paperback, 368 Pages, Published 1987 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-415-10483-8, ISBN: 0-415-10483-1
"Though he was once proclaimed "the oracle of the electronic age," perhaps the world was not quite ready for Marshall McLuhan when he came to prominence in the 1960s. With the advent of digital technology, the Internet, and the global economy, however, there can be little doubt that he is relevant now. Understanding Media is one of McLuhan's most popular books, offering some of his more pungent and provocative insights on our need to ada ..."
The Mechanical Bride(Reprint) Folklore of Industrial Man by Herbert MarshallMcluhan Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2008 by Gingko Press ISBN-13: 978-1-58423-243-8, ISBN: 1-58423-243-9
"This is the devastating book which first established Marshall McLuhan's reputation as the foremost critic of modern mass communications. The Mechanical Bride is vintage McLuhan so aptly illustrated by dozens of examples from ads, comic strips, columnists, etc., that those who were stung by McLuhan were hard put for rebuttals. It shows how sex was first used to sell industrial hardware, how Orphan Annie still keeps the world on track, an ..."

It was McLuhan who made the distinction between "hot" and "cool" media. And it was he who coined the phrases "th ..."

"War and Peace in the Global Village, initially published in 1968, is regarded as a revolutionary work for its depiction of a planet made ever smaller by new technologies. McLuhan's prescient ideas are eerily relevant to recent discussions about the Digital Revolution and about the impact of the Internet on society. Photos & illustrations."
