Managing the Infosphere

"Accessible and welcoming. The theoretical underpinnings are clearly explicated, and strong. The book will be particularly useful as an introductory text in classes on globalization and information technology for those in the first two years of their undergraduate studies." Sandra Braman, University of Wisconsin "The main strength of this book is its strong theoretical framework... Managing the Infosphere will prove useful as a foundational text for anyone who wants to explore deeply how governance, cultural practices and technology shape and territorialize the space of information - and sometimes the other way around."- Spring 2009 issue of Global Media Journal "The book's strength lies in its cogent look at the space that hosts the virtual in order to help users understand mobile technologies--whether in applications of communication, tourism, or institution... What is particularly impressive in this work is the authors' depth of analysis despite handling so many and varied concepts... Managing the Infosphere is a stimulating book." Journalism & Mass Communication, Spring 2009 "The authors do admirably in taking a difficult and fluid topic and discussing it in such a way you can readily make sense of it... Like any good scholarly work, this [book] offers no solutions, only cautions and insights. In that sense, Managing the Infosphere may prove a valuable work for scholars and researchers looking for light to help them forge the way ahead."-Technical Communication, May 2009
