"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

"Together, the comprehensive and quite thought-provoking
individual essays provide richly insightful perspectives into the
extent to which the internet is shaping and being shaped by human
cultures and societies, and the various ways in which scholars
might consider and approach such processes."
(Digital Journalism, 19 August 2014)
"The editors of the Handbook of Internet Studies are to be
congratulated on creating 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
"The Handbook of Internet Studies is a comprehensive and
useful volume that will appeal to students, teachers and
researchers. It provides a welcome survey of the still-emerging
field of Internet Studies and can readily serve as a jumping-off
point for further exploration. 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
"Of all media, the internet holds the most wide-ranging,
deep and complex depiction of contemporary society. If you want to
understand today's society, you need to study the internet.

now come of age." Niels Ole Finnemann, Aarhus
