Evil Influences: Crusades Against the Mass Media (Hardback)

"Evil Influences is a worthy riposte that attempts to bring some sense of proportion to the ensuing debate. Starker... shows how all new forms of communication from writing to video games have been blamed for a cluster of evils... He contends that people often fear new media because they fear change... The book is appropriate for lower-division undergraduates and general readers."
