The Encyclopedia of Communication and Information is a contemporary reference designed to provide a comprehensive overview of universal modes of communication, the media used to communicate, theories of communication and their implications, careers in communications and information, and biographies of notable figures in the field. Organized for the general reader, the Encyclopedia complements social studies, communications and information systems curricula.
"We may live in the information age, but information and communication have been creating culture and society since ancient times. Cuneiform symbols, Chinese characters, Egyptian hierogylphics, and, later, alphabets allowed people to preserve ideas that had been expressed orally. Today, newspapers, cellular telephones, and the World Wide Web transmit ideas all over the world as quickly as they are conceived. Macmillan's Encyclopedia of Communication and Information attempts to summarize what we know about communication and information in all of their manifestations. ... The Encyclopedia of Communication and Information will be a useful source for public, academic, and high-school libraries because it provides a good overview of these vast subject areas and serves as a starting point for deeper research. With articles on minorities and the media, soap operas, major legislation, and pirate media, it has information of interest to a broad range of users." -- Booklist (February 2001)
