Great read.

A great introduction to a mostly neglected field of thought that may be more deserving of our imaginations.
Must-read while studying McLuhan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Marchand and Postman do an excellent job with this biography on an unusual media prophet/quack. Reading about McLuhan's childhood, education, and work helped explain a lot about the man and his ideas. The book reads very well, and puts a lot of his ideas in a context that makes them easier to understand. If you're just starting to study McLuhan, this book is a great starting point. Also check out "McLuhan for Beginners" for a very quick and fun overview.
