Reviews

`Nicholas Garnham's new book is about moral philosophy, social theory and media analysis. Often these subjects are held to be separate. For Garnham, they are inseparable. This is certainly a major strength of this work, his work in general, and it should be emulated. To hold these subjects together in the face of increasing specialization in universities is a difficult task but one that Garnham achieves through his ability to proceed quickly, and with clarity, to what is essential in an argument. He is at home in all three subjects.' John Downey, European Journal of Communication 16 (1)
