Reviews

From the book reviews: The standard of writing is generally very good and there is evidence that the editors have done a good job in ensuring a high quality of intellectual argument. ... this is an excellent introduction to the rich and varied debates around the nature of information, revealing that the field is actually far from agreement. ... There is also sufficient depth and breadth to make it a valuable resource for the more knowledgeable as well. (John Mingers, Cybernetics and Human Knowing, Vol. 21 (3), 2014)
