Harper & Row, Publishers BOOK: Spine Bumped; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Moderately Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: Television has been commented on, criticized, exhorted - even, occasionally, defended. About Television examines it, with the reportorial thoroughness and insight readers have come to expect from Martin Mayer. This is a big subject. No development since the mass production of the automobile in the 1920s has so greatly affected the daily lives of ordinary people. Yet there has been little exploration of how television happens, what the people who make the key decisions think about and why, who they are and how they work. About Television has gossip and theory; essential historical, geographic, technical and economic background; anecdote and personality; and even some suggestions about where we might go from here. There are set pieces on The Flip Wilson Show and The Selling of the Pentagon; a… Read More

DUST JACKET: Missing. SYNOPSIS: In his new book Sir Philip Gibbs shows how the clash of ideas is dividing the human tribes into hostile camps, preventing the use of reason, or the compromise of common sense, and creating great danger of war and revolution. There are many passionate problems in this account of the world today - not least of which is the tragic problem of the Jewish race in a new era of persecution, which the author treats with candour and sympathy. Another is the decline of Christian idealism, resulting in a scorn for pity, mercy and chivalry. Another is the retreat of Democracy before the driving efficiency of autocratic powers. One of the… Read More
