The Handbook of Internet Studies HANDBOOKS IN COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA Highly recommended. CHOICE A state-of-the-art collection that represents and celebrates the diversity of theoretical and disciplinary approaches marking this brave new field. A new must-have reference book for Internet studies. Caroline Haythornthwaite, University of Illinois This indispensable volume reflects the complexity of Internet studies indeed, the Internet itself by bringing together a diverse set of voices, geographies, disciplines, and arguments. It is not only an important resource for practitioners, but will also spark the curiosity of those on the edges of the field, including humanists, social scientists, and engineers alike. Michael Zimmer, University of Wisconsin A comprehensive and useful volume that will appeal to students, teachers, and researchers. I highly recommend it to those who have been following the field since its emergence in the 1990s as well as to those new to the field. Steve Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago This handbook is landmark, documenting that Internet studies have now come of age. Niels Ole Finnemann, Aarhus University To fully understand the impact and significance of the Internet, it is essential to consider its historical, societal, and cultural contexts. This handbook presents a wide range of original essays by established scholars in the field of Internet studies exploring the role of the Internet in modern societies, and the continuing development of its academic study.
