By comparing the scholarship of both Wilbur Schramm and Noam Chomsky with that of Harold Innis, and by making detailed use of Innis's neglected writings, including particularly Political Economy in the Modern State, Innis's media and communication scholarship is unfolded in new, startling, critical, yet ultimately appreciative ways.

The book explores the writings of ten significant thinkers, analyzing how their physical and cultural surroundings shape their ideas. It argues for a distinct mode of theorizing that reflects a uniquely Canadian perspective, highlighting the interplay between environment and thought.
