Consuming Environments: Television and Commercial Culture (Communications, Media and Culture Series)

Rating:
Summary: Thought-provoking and thorough
Review: This book is rich with ideas and provides a thought-provoking analysis of television and its impact on culture. It would no doubt be interesting to anthropologists of modern culture, sociologists, and the general public. We often forget about the powerful influence of this pervasive medium, but its impact is undeniable. By making this implicit impact explicit, Consuming Environments helps us become more reflective consumers of television content.
