About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5 Up?In one modest-sized volume, Streissguth has compiled the entire time line of communications history. After an introduction in which the author gives a brief overview of communications technology through the ages, readers are introduced to successive revolutions in human communications and their inventors, from Gutenberg and the printing press to Edison and Marconi, to the "information superhighway." Enhanced by effective, black-and-white illustrations and photographs, each chapter presents an interesting, easy-to-understand, and authoritative biography of a major figure (or figures) in this important field. Additional fascinating facts and historical perspectives are included in the margins. A welcome addition to most collections.?Linda Wadleigh, Oconee County Middle School, Watkinsville, GA
