`What significance does media (e.g. the form and materiality of expression) have for law and legal thought? Covering a hugely impressive historical range - from oral traditions, through the invention of writing and print, to today's computer networks - this new book from Thomas Vesting offers the best guide currently available to that question. Putting in dialogue media theory and legal theory, Vesting does not shy away from the most difficult issues at the intersection of these two fields. The book will be of interest to everyone from book historians to theorists of contemporary mass media. An impressive achievement.' -- Maksymilian Del Mar, Queen Mary University of London, UK
