Reviews

The Handbook of Communication History is an important contribution to valuing ideas, social practices and media communication as they have developed over time, past cultures and the history of world geographical regions. The comparative aspects of many of the chapters also add genuine value to the editorial aim of shifting our gaze not only into history but across national and international borders and is highly commendable. - Simon Cross, Nottingham Trent University, UK, in European Journal of Communication This book is a unique collection of research on a critical part of the communication field. It suggests that unless we become more reflexive on what research we are doing, the field will continue to grow without direction... I recommend the book for all researchers in the field. - Emile McAnany, Santa Clara University, Communication Research Trends
