One of the American anthropologist's major works the inspiration for a 2003 documentary by the same name. A photo-illustrated examination of media technology myth and meaning across cultures inspired by a quote from Don Quixote. Carpenter writes "I think media are so powerful they swallow cultures. I think of them as invisible environments which surround and destroy old environments." To illustrate this point the cover images show Zuni Katchina figurines from 1890 and 1950 the latter clearly a version of Mickey Mouse. The author spent his career studying media ecology and cofounded the iconoclastic academic journal Explorations with the Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan.

March 13 1911. "My Dear Mrs. Gibbs: I thought it might interest you to see brought together the zoological papers that have been written by holders of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship since 1894. I trust you will accept the two volumes which I am sending with this as a slight token of appreciation of the aid which this scholarship has already afforded to students in Zoology. When I think of the years to come and the many more men who will be helped while devoting themselves to biological problems I am sure the grounds are ample for offering you as I do my hearty congratulations. Quite by chance I learned through Miss Clark that your birthday is near at hand so I am taking the liberty of making that day the date of this little remembrance. With high esteem and good wishes I am as ever Sincerely E.L. Mark." THEODORE K. GIBBS 1840-1909 was born in Newport Rhode Island in 1840 and was the youngest son of Rhode Island Governor William Channing Gibbs.

Gibbs and his wife Virginia Barrett d. 1926 maintained homes in both New York City and Newport. THE VIRGINIA BARRET GIBBS SCHOLARSHIP FUND was established in connection with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College to support one or more students who may have shown decided talents in Zoology and preferably in the direction of Marine Zoology. His studies and researches may be conducted at the Natural History Laboratories of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College at the Newport Marine Laboratory or at such European laboratories or other place on the sea-shore in this country or elsewhere as may be approved by the Faculty of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and by the Professors of Zoology and of Comparative Anatomy of Harvard University. –President's Report of Harvard College 1888-89 pub. 1890. ALEXANDER AGASSIZ 1835–1910 son of Louis Agassiz was an American scientist and engineer born in Neuchâtel Switzerland and immigrated to the United States with his father in 1849. Graduating from Harvard University with the degree of A.B. he entered the Lawrence Scientific School and two years later received from there the degree of Bachelor of Science. In 1859 he went to the Pacific coast where for a time he was engaged upon the North-West Boundary Survey. Upon his return in 1860 he became assistant in Zoology at the Museum of which he took charge during his father's absence in Brazil. From 1866 to 1869 he was superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla Copper Company which he developed from a state of insolvency into the most noted copper mine in the world. During the years 1869 and 1870 he carefully inspected the museums of England France Germany and Scandinavia after which he returned to his duties in Cambridge and succeeded his father as curator of the museum of comparative zoology which position he held until 1898 when he resigned to devote himself to his own expeditions. Agassiz served as a president of the National Academy of Sciences which since 1913 has awarded the Alexander Agassiz Medal in his memory. EDWARD LAURENS MARK 1847-1946 received his A.B. in 1871 from the University of Michigan. In 1873 he was the first American to obtain a doctorate in the laboratory of Rudolf Leuckart; receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Leipzig in 1876. Bringing the cytological and histological approach with him to Harvard University in 1877 he was responsible for the introduction of advanced European microscopic techniques. After rising to Professor of Anatomy in 1885 he served as Director Bermuda Biological Station for Research from 1902 to 1931. Founded by Louis Agassiz the University's Museum of Comparative Zoology became the main center of zoological training in 19th century America. His students included Alexander Agassiz and Theodore Roosevelt. A prolific author Mark was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1903. THE MONOGRAPHS: VOLUME I: C. A. KOFOID.

1769ref. 55574Swanzey: March 15 1769. Two-page holograph document of dismissal against Rev. Ezra Carpenter folio approx. 12" x 15" previous folds browned small holes at folds; very good and legible. Ezra Carpenter 1698-1785 a son of Nathaniel and Mary Preston Carpenter his third wife was born March 20 1698 in Rehoboth Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard College in 1720. He was married in 1723 to Elizabeth daughter of Rev. Thomas Greenwood of Rehoboth. Their children were: Elizabeth Elijah Theodosia Greenwood Preston Olive Content married John Kilburn and Rachel. He died at Walpole New Hampshire August 26 1785 in his eighty-eighth year. He entered the Christian ministry and was ordained at Hull Massachusetts November 24 1725 at a wage "rarely more than half enough to support a family." He was dismissed from the pastorate in Hull November 23 1746. November 1752 found him preaching at Lower Ashuelot or Swanzey New Hampshire which had been burned by the Indians four years before. The town of Upper Ashuelot or Keene engaged him in 1753 to preach at an annual compensation of £50 6 s. and firewood. Keene and Swanzey then formed a single church to which he was installed October 4 1753. Written by the council of churches this document concerns his pastorate in Swanzey: "We the pastors & Delegates from the Several Churches applied to by the pastor of the Church of Christ in Swanzey being convened in council at Swanzey . after earnestly imploring the Divine Direction & assistance & reading the results of former councils & other papers necessary to give us light with regard to the separation of the Rev. Mr. Ezra Carpenter as desired to ret. by our letters missive.we come to the following results.viz." They write that although Rev. Carpenter has been a good minister "We lament the unhappy differences & irresponsible & groundless jealousies mutually subsisting between the Rev Mr Carpenter.and people of Swanzey which we apprehend have been a great means of protracting & preventing the termination of their differences and controversies." They conclude with entreaties of mercy for the reverend and for treating him "as a brother" and to consider his infirmities due to his age he was then 71. The document is signed by "Thos Fessendon moderator Samuel Hedge Micah Lawrence Samll Ashley Willm Smeed and Nathl Stevens". A note at the bottom is dated March 16 1769 and states that Carpenter was then present at the house of "Dea Jona Hammond" where the declaration of dismissal was read. Sibley's Harvard Graduates notes that concerning Carpenter's first dismissal from Hull: "Carpenter patiently endured poverty for twenty years only to be overthrown in the end by New Lights who charged that he did not preach the doctrine of grace. Itinerant zealots who invaded the town inflamed the New Lights in the congregation into bringing some fifteen charges of errors of doctrine against him." Apparently similar forces were at work in this his second dismissal. Ezra Carpenter was also chaplain of New Hampshire state troops at Crown Point. March 15 unknown books
