An Ecology of Communication: Cultural Formats of Control (Communication and Social Order)

-An Ecology of Communication is a must for those with interests in communication and technology. While some of the chapters previously appeared in print, there is a wonderful freshness to the meshing of old and new material. The book also is a must for anyone offering seminars in science and technology, communication, or specialized courses in the sociology of culture. Finally, as a pedagogical tool it provides an innovative application of well-established concepts from symbolic interactionist paradigms.- --Karen A Cerulo, Contemporary Sociology "An Ecology of Communication is a must for those with interests in communication and technology.
