"Got to be one of the most important books on child development...by a writer who puts together those, "How the heck did he do that" sentences. Worth reading, then re-reading to get it all. What book about childhood development starts with a history of the printing press. Money!"
"Another great book by Postman. He argues that new communication mediums--particularly television are eroding the notion of childhood--something that was developed shortly after the printing press. The idea of childhood is one of the most humane inventions of mankind and its loss will lead to the dissolution of a civil society.
