You know how Amazon does that little, "Buy Together" bit on a book's page where you get a deal if you buy one book with another frequently purchased with it? On the page for Cultural Globalization, it's paired with James Carey's Communication as Culture, which I think is really cool. I don't think it's in the same league, by any means, as Carey's book (which is a landmark book for anyone studying communication, technology, and cultural studies), but it's nice to be in his company (I knew him at Illinois and took a class with him).
Postscript to the above: I just noticed that Carey's book is available on Kindle. It's too much to think through, off the cuff, but it would be interesting to consider that conjuncture: Carey's work on mobility, time, space, communication, technology, ritual, and the new mobile, ephemeral, e-book. Paper anyone?
