crl-15107	Welburn, William C.	Lacy, Dan. From Grunts to Gigabytes: Communications and Society. Urbana, Ill.: Univ. of Illinois Pr., 1996. 193p. $29.95 cloth (ISBN 0-252-02228-9); $13.95 paper (ISBN 0-252-06531-X). LC 95-32512.	1997	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1764	116	38	First, toward the end of the book Lacy expresses grave concerns over the “in- formation disenfranchised,” arguing a widely held belief that many people— even whole societies—are information poor because they lack access to avail- able information within the mainstream of communication systems. Few would find fault with the statement that begins Dan Lacy’s latest book on communications and society: “the pat- terns of skills and technologies with which humans have been able to com- municate have profoundly affected the societies in which they have lived.”	cache/crl-15107.pdf	txt/crl-15107.txt
