520 1 $a"This book describes the part information plays and will continue to play in our lives and looks at the progression of society from an industrial one to an information one. The politics of information and the state of national information policies are explored, as well as the ethical issues surrounding the ownership of information and the circumstances under which it may not be withheld. The way information has changed attitudes is also an important part of this study, as is how information is understood and misunderstood and its conversion into knowledge. Other issues such as the contribution that television and the multimedia makes to the information communication scene and the impact of information on cultural matters, such as beliefs and behaviour, are also considered"--Back cover.
