30 years after its publication Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Massage remains his most entertaining, provocative, and piquant book. With every technological and social "advance" McLuhan's proclamation that "the media work us over completely" becomes more evident and plain. In his words, Uso pervasive are they in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, or unaltered'. McLuhan's remarkable observation that "societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication" is undoubtedly more relevant today than ever before. With the rise of the internet and the explosion of the digital revolution there has never been a better time to revisit Marshall McLuhan. New printing - 2011 - with cover design by Shepard Fairey.

《理解媒介:论人的延伸(增订评注本)》是“20世纪为数不多的重要思想著作之一”。这是神使墨丘利的杰作，洞悉未来，深入分析，是思想史转折的路标。麦克卢汉将传播媒介作为主要动因，以异乎寻常的方式解释历史。他认为，媒介是塑造历史和社会的隐蔽力量，常常被人忽视；媒介的“讯息”在于其如何“扭曲”现存的社会秩序；由于忽视媒介，我们常常对其熟视无睹，被其遮蔽，这是“书面文化”或西方式感知能力的失败。书面文化执著于媒介的内容，它必须在新的电子环境里革故鼎新。麦克卢汉邀请我们抛弃旧的思维习惯，采纳感知和知识的新标准。
《理解媒介:论人的延伸(增订评注本)》初版于1964年，麦克卢汉借以登上世界舞台，成为我们时代最杰出的公共知识分子之一。在这部极富胆略的著作里，他把媒介解释推向新的高度。他向我们发出挑战，让我们与他一道纵身投入他所谓的“创新认知过程”。

Beschreibung
In diesem Buch werden die bekannten Daten und Fakten zu den Auswirkungen von Bildschirm-Medien auf Körper und Geist zusammenfassend und erstmals vor dem Hintergrund neuester Ergebnisse aus der Gehirnforschung diskutiert. Das Gefahrenpotential von Fernsehen, Video- und Computerspielen, Gameboy und Internetgebrauch wird deutlich gemacht. Medizin und vor allem Gehirnforschung zeigen nicht nur klar und deutlich die negativen Auswirkungen, sondern weisen auch Wege zum konkreten Handeln. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die Bildschirm-Medien konsumieren oder den Konsum anderer - vor allem Kinder und Jugendliche - verantworten: Eltern und Lehrer, Ärzte und Psychologen, Sozialarbeiter und Pädagogen sowie Fernsehmacher und Fernsehzuschauer, Internetprovider und -surfer sowie Softwareprogrammierer und -anwender.

PREFACE<br > This book is only nominally about computers.

The<br >reader who looks at a few of this book s pages and turns away in<br >fright because he spots an equation or a bit of computer jargon here<br >and there should reconsider.

But a major point of this<br >book is precisely that we， all of us， have made the world too much<br >into a computer， and that this remaking of the world in the image of<br >the computer started long before there were any electronic comput-<br >ers. Now that we have computers， it becomes somewhat easier to see<br >this imaginative transformation we have worked on the world.

Marshall McLuhan died on the last day of 1980, on the doorstep of the personal computer revolution. Yet McLuhan's ideas anticipated a world of media in motion, and its impact on our lives on the dawn of the new millennium. Paul Levinson examines why McLuhan's theories about media are more important to us today than when they were first written, and why the Wired generation is now turning to McLuhan's work to understand the global village in the digital age.

Marshall McLuhan, the celebrated social theorist who defined the culture of the 1960s, is remembered now primarily for the aphoristic slogan he coined to explain the emerging new world of global communication: “The medium is the message.” Half a century later, McLuhan’s predictions about the end of print culture and the rise of “electronic inter-dependence” have become a reality—in a sense, the reality—of our time.
Douglas Coupland, whose iconic novel Generation X was a “McLuhanesque” account of our culture in fictional form, has written a compact biography of the cultural critic that interprets the life and work of his subject from inside. A fellow Canadian, a master of creative sociology, a writer who supplied a defining term, Coupland is the ideal chronicler of the uncanny prophet whose vision of the global village—now known as the Internet—has come to pass in the 21st century.

with a new introduction by Lewis H. Lapham This reissue of Understanding Media marks the thirtieth anniversary (1964-1994) of Marshall McLuhan's classic expose on the state of the then emerging phenomenon of mass media. Terms and phrases such as "the global village" and "the medium is the message" are now part of the lexicon, and McLuhan's theories continue to challenge our sensibilities and our assumptions about how and what we communicate.There has been a notable resurgence of interest in McLuhan's work in the last few years, fueled by the recent and continuing conjunctions between the cable companies and the regional phone companies, the appearance of magazines such as WiRed, and the development of new media models and information ecologies, many of which were spawned from MIT's Media Lab. In effect, media now begs to be redefined. In a new introduction to this edition of Understanding Media, Harper's editor Lewis Lapham reevaluates McLuhan's work in the light of the technological as well as the political and social changes that have occurred in the last part of this century.

The Gutenberg Galaxy catapulted Marshall McLuhan to fame as a media theorist and, in time, a new media prognosticator. Fifty years after its initial publication, this landmark text is more significant than ever before. Readers will be amazed by McLuhan's prescience, unmatched by anyone since, predicting as he did the dramatic technological innovations that have fundamentally changed how we communicate. The Gutenberg Galaxy foresaw the networked, compressed 'global village' that would emerge in the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries - despite having been written when black-and-white television was ubiquitous. This new edition of The Gutenberg Galaxy celebrates both the centennial of McLuhan's birth and the fifty-year anniversary of the book's publication. A new interior design updates The Gutenberg Galaxy for twenty-first-century readers, while honouring the innovative, avant-garde spirit of the original. This edition also includes new introductory essays that illuminate McLuhan's lasting effect on a variety of scholarly fields and popular culture. A must-read for those who inhabit today's global village, The Gutenberg Galaxy is an indispensable road map for our evolving communication landscape.

Extending the visionary early work of the late Marshall McLuhan, The Global Village , one of his last collaborative efforts, applies that vision to today's worldwide, integrated electronic network.
When McLuhan's groundbreaking Understanding Media was published in 1964, the media as we know it today did not exist. But McLuhan's argument, that the technological extensions of human consciousness were racing ahead of our ability to understand their consequences, has never been more compelling. And if the medium is the message, as McLuhan maintained, then the message is becoming almost impossible to decipher.
In The Global Village , McLuhan and co-author Bruce R. Powers propose a detailed conceptual framework in terms of which the technological advances of the past two decades may be understood. At the heart of their theory is the argument that today's users of technology are caught between two very different ways of perceiving the world. On the one hand there is what they refer to as Visual Space--the linear, quantitative mode of perception that is characteristic of the Western world; on the other hand there is Acoustic Space--the holistic, qualitative reasoning of the East. The medium of print, the authors argue, fosters and preserves the perception of Visual Space; but, like television, the technologies of the data base, the communications satellite, and the global media network are pushing their users towards the more dynamic, "many-centered" orientation of Acoustic Space.
The authors warn, however, that this movement towards Acoustic Space may not go smoothly. Indeed, McLuhan and Powers argue that with the advent of the global village--the result of worldwide communications--these two worldviews "are slamming into each other at the speed of light," asserting that "the key to peace is to understand both these systems simultaneously."
Employing McLuhan's concept of the Tetrad--a device for predicting the changes wrought by new technologies--the authors analyze this collision of viewpoints. Taking no sides, they seek to do today what McLuhan did so successfully twenty-five years ago--to look around the corner of the coming world, and to help us all be prepared for what we will find there.

Initiallly published in 1968, this text is regarded as a revolutionary work for its depiction of a planet made ever smaller by new technologies. A mosaic of pointed insights and probes, this text predicts a world without centres or boundaries. It illustrates how the electronic information travelling around the globe at the speed of light has eroded the rules of the linnear, literate world. No longer can there be fixed positions or goals.
