Description

The Cyberspace Handbook is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of new media, information technologies and the internet. It gives an overview of the economic, political, social and cultural contexts of cyberspace, and provides practical advice on using new technologies for research, communication and publication. Jason Whittaker explores how cyberspace has been constructed, how it is used and extends into areas as different as providing us immediate news or immersive games and virtual technologies for areas such as copyright and cybercrime, as well as key skills in employing the Internet for research or writing and designing for the Web. The Cyberspace Handbook includes: A glossary of over 80 key terms A list of over 90 web resources for news and entertainment, new media and web development, education and reference, and internet and web information Specialist chapters on web design and journalism and writing on the web Over 30 illustrations of internet material and software applications
