Ways of Communicating is a stimulating exploration of the single
most powerful force that gives humankind its control over the
natural world--the communication among us. So integral a part of
everyday life as to be taken for granted, yet so multi-faceted as
to be notoriously slippery to describe and analyze, the world of
communication is treated here from the standpoint of the arts quite
as much as the sciences. Speech and body language, fiction and
music, communication by neural networks within the brain and by
satellite around the globe, all are considered together to give a
fascinating view of this elusive aspect of our common humanity.
Contributors include P.N. Johnson-Laird on The Nature of
Communication; Horace Barlow on The Brain; Patrick Bateson on
Animals; Noam Chomsky on Language; D.H. Mellor on Truth; David
Lodge on The Novel; Jonathan Miller on Communication without Words;
Alexander Goehr on Music; and John Alvey on Telecommunications.
