> "<http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=54291&cid=537>Nexus: 
> New Intersections in Internet Research" (edited 
> by Daniel Araya, Yana Breindl and Tessa J. Houghton).
>
> The collection examines the current ways that 
> mass collaboration intersects with 
> sociocultural, technosocial and political 
> changes in varied contexts, and questions their 
> impact on established institutions and modes of 
> production. The growing presence of digital 
> technologies and the dramatic impact of 
> networked collaboration pose a challenge, not 
> only to the dominant economic paradigm, but also 
> to a broad range of received social science 
> thinking. This collection interrogates 
> established theories and concepts in the light 
> of recent developments and builds upon emergent 
> research and original empirical findings.
>
> "This book is a rich and varied exploration of 
> current and emerging themes in Internet 
> research, and a testament to the strength and 
> diversity of the field." (Axel Bruns, Associate 
> Professor, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology)
>
> "This book reveals significant trends in 
> Internet research and provides well-grounded 
> insights into contemporary phenomena surrounding 
> the Internet." (Jeremy Hunsinger, Virginia Tech)
>
> "The talented young scholars behind this 
> collection break new ground in examining 
> emerging collaborative uses of the Internet and 
> the impact of such use across a range of 
> settings. Well-written and thematically 
> coherent, this volume takes us deeper into the 
> social implications of ICTs, while at the same 
> time ably demonstrating the multidisciplinary 
> and transnational character of the developing 
> field of Internet studies." (Peter Dahlgren, 
> Professor Emeritus, Media and Communication Studies, Lund University, Sweden)
