Discover the depth of human connection with *Love and Communication*, a groundbreaking philosophical exploration into the essence of speech and our existence. This enlightening book by Paddy Scannell delves into how communication, through both talking and writing, forms the bedrock of human relationships and understanding. With a keen historical lens, Scannell connects traditional media with modern technological advances, illustrating how they intertwine in our experiences of love and connection.

The argument that love and communication are intrinsically linked positions this book as a unique resource for scholars and students in media and communication.

Description:
Love and Communication is an intriguing philosophical and religious inquiry into the meaning of śtalkť “ and ultimately the meaning of śbeing human.ť
Taking an historical approach, Paddy Scannell argues that the fundamental media of communication are (and always have been) talk and writing. Far from being made redundant by twentieth-century new media (radio and television), these old media laid the foundation for today™s technologies (AI and algorithms, for instance). Emphasizing these linkages, Scannell makes the case for recognizing what a religious sensibility might reveal about these technologies and the fundamental differences between a humanmade world and a world that is beyond our grasp. Drawing on the pioneering work of John Durham Peters, the book proposes that communication and love go together, which can be understood in two ways: as a human accomplishment, or a divine gift. Ultimately, the essential conundrum of today is highlighted: do we wish to remain in a human>
This book draws on a lifetime of academic work and the author™s personal experience. It will be of interest to scholars and students of media and communication, who will welcome this highly original and searching examination of love as communication.

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception.
Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers.
Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle.
No chemical or overpowering odor.
One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.

I love tits effectiveness to clean & you can also add a pump functionality on it or you can just refill smaller bottles that have a pump which you can also buy here on Amazon or refill your old liquid handsoaps with pump, because this cleans well, nice lather , moisturizing feel & great for sensitive skin, smells fresh. I buy this a lot for my personal use & office use. Great value for your money.

Cleans well and smells fresh, but bottle is hard to pour
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I’ve been using this hand soap refill for a few weeks now, and overall I’m very happy with it. The soap has a pleasant scent that smells clean without being too strong, and it leaves my hands feeling refreshed instead of dry. I also like that the refill size lasts a long time and saves money compared to buying smaller bottles repeatedly. It lathers nicely and works well for everyday use in the kitchen and bathroom. However, the large refill container can be a little awkward to pour without spilling if you’re not careful. Still, the quality of the soap itself is great, and I would definitely purchase it again.

Convenient refill that lasts a long time
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I bought this hand soap refill to save money and reduce plastic waste, and overall I’ve been very pleased with it. The soap has a pleasant scent that isn’t too strong, and it leaves my hands feeling clean without making them feel dry afterward. I also like how easy it is to refill existing dispensers instead of constantly buying new bottles. The large refill size lasts much longer than expected, which is convenient for a busy household. However, pouring the soap into smaller dispensers can be a little messy if you’re not careful. The packaging is somewhat bulky as well. Overall, it’s an economical and practical option that works very well for everyday hand washing.
