Reviews
'Web History' sets out to do nothing less than historicize the web. Niels Br gger and his colleagues show us how to conceptualize web history, how institutions have shaped the web, how culture has shaped the web, and how to implement web research methods. 'Web History' is an unqualified success. (David W. Park, Lake Forest College) Historiography is reflective scholarship, and such scholarship is dearly needed to counter the glitter and 'gee whiz' mentality all too often associated with new media. Web History is a welcome contribution to such reflection, a collection bringing together some of the most astute new media scholars of our time. (Nicholas W. Jankowski, Co-editor, 'New Media & Society')
