Beginning with the opening of the first user-friendly public telegraph line, from Washington, DC to Baltimore, Hugill (geography, Texas A&M U.) traces the growth of communications, relying heavily on the discipline of geopolitics as introduced by Halford Mackinder in late- Victorian and Edwardian Britain. He likes his history with a solid theoretical foundation in social science, and is more concerned with characterizing the temporal and geographical core of trends than with delineating the borders between them. His account proceeds up to telecommunications and world-system theory. His glossary does not indicate pronunciation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
