Completed in 1946, it is a collection of fifteen chapters plus a remarkable Preface selected and crafted to address four main themes: the problem of power and peace in the post-War era; the ascent of specialized and mechanized forms of knowledge involving, most particularly, the media, the state, and the academy; the crisis facing civilization and, more generally, the modern penchant for unreflexive short-term thinking in the face of mounting contradictions; and Innis\u0026amp;#x2019;s growing focus on what would be called media bias.\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new edition, editors Robert E. Babe and Edward A. Comor provide not only a general introduction to Innis\u0026amp;#x2019;s largely forgotten book but also dedicated introductions to each of its fifteen chapters and a comprehensive index. Together, Babe and Comor demonstrate how Innis\u0026amp;#x2019;s volume reflects a shift in Innis\u0026amp;#x2019;s focus, away from analytical relativism towards, instead, a reflexive search for objective truths.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditors\u0026amp;#x2019; Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditors\u0026amp;#x2019; Introduction to Chapter 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
