Through a series of studies rather than a fully developed thesis, Warner (management and economics, Queen's U. of Belfast) explores how computers are being incorporated with earlier information technologies into a new understanding of knowledge and its communication. Among his topics are redundancy in language and information systems, toward an integrated account of formal logic and automata, and whether there is an origin to graphic communication. There is no index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
