(Notwithstanding the Internet, YouTube, and smart phones, ...)
Notwithstanding the Internet, YouTube, and smart phones, TV remains a major influence in the lives of American children and their parents. Former FCC Commissioner Nicholas Johnson's How to Talk Back to Your Television Set, when first published, was praised by everyone from Tom Smothers to William Buckley, from John Kenneth Galbraith to Fred Friendly, among others. The technology may have changed, but many of the problems have only become worse. Fortunately, many of the potential solutions remain the same. This reissue of the book lays out what you can do -- plus what we learned from “Forty Years of Wandering in the Wasteland.”

(Test Pattern for Living is a kind of guidebook for anyone...)
Test Pattern for Living is a kind of guidebook for anyone thinking about what they are doing with their life and why -- whether happy and wanting to stay that way, or working their way through one of life's many stresses. As such it touches on everything from camping to cooking, from religious values to the values of corporate advertising, the role of love and sexuality, and many, many more subjects. It leaves you making your own choices. But it frees you to ask what other choices you might have made if corporate media hadn't spent billions of dollars trying to persuade you to make the choices that maximize their profits.
