In this fascinating book, history professor David Johnson looks at how the programme's storytelling has reflected social developments over the past five decades in various areas of content such as computers, medical advances, war and gender. The 'madman with a box' has spent more than fifty years in a box - a television box - helping the audience to explore social issues and new technologies in an entertaining and informative way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845839390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845839390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Telos Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.37d","brand":"David Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241520935167,"sku":"9781845839390","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_709098fb-63c8-4b9b-a079-c0cf4abc4a2e.jpg?v=1772654774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madman-in-a-box-david-johnson-9781845839390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
