Reviews & Statements

"This encyclopedia features one of the most extensive collections of articles available representing knowledge and research on human behavior in the cyber realm." [...] "Articles, which can stand on their own, provide significant insights into specific areas of knowledge. All three volumes could be read together in order to gain a global understanding of how people are using technology in order to develop themselves and the world around them. Recommended.
