"Martin Barrack illuminates the history of communication and discusses our need to share existence with others. Language and the arts are investigated as well as the telephone and other business systems." [From the cover]

In a hand written note, Marty tells us that this book was completed just before his journey to the Cross of Christ. This book, he says, is like a snapshot before Christ, just as his book, "Second Exodus" is like a snapshot after Christ.
