Watching What We Watch Reviews

In a culture so dominated by the image, it's alarming how visually illiterate most of us are. Watching What We Watch promises to educate our vision and alert us to the values underlying popular TV shows... It's been said that 'television shapes our souls'. Watching What We Watch offers a compelling examination of how this potentially catastrophic metamorphosis happens, and what we can do to resist it... It has been estimated, an average viewer devotes some eight years over a lifetime to gazing at the small screen, this book will help ensure that these are not wasted years. It should be required reading for all of us. Chris Arthur, Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies, University of Wales
