Reviews

This is an important book, well worth the effect necessary to absorb the, at times, complex arguments. It certainly ought to be a candidate for the ASIST Best Information Science Book Award ...

It is well written, dealing with complex topics in a readily understandable fashion, with the aid many diagrams and illustrations. (T. D. Wilson, Information Research, Vol. 23 (04), December, 2018)
