Scope and Contents

Philip Meggs has written the most throughly illustrated, definitive history of graphic communications. In the epilogue, Meggs notes the following: "At the time of this writing human affairs are undergoing a new revolution comparable to the industrial revolution that launched the machine age. Electronic circuitry, microprocessors, and computer-generated imagery threaten to radically alter our culture's images, communications processes,and the very nature of the work itself. Graphic design, like many other sources of human activity, is undergoing profound changes." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
