Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or "self-amputations of our own being", because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live. <P>War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war. 762841 1968 War and Peace In the Global Village total:60|5:21|4:22|3:15|2:1|1:1| 60 241 94 6 4 0 false false Tue Jan 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 23 20:24:55 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 24 19:57:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Fri Jun 12 13:50:03 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 09:23:19 -0700 2009 4 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Mar 05 07:48:33 -0800 2009 Fri Aug 29 13:29:13 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 05 07:48:33 -0800 2009
