This book comes out of need and urgency (expressed especially in areas of Information Retrieval with respect to Image, Audio, Internet and Biology) to have a working tool to compare data.
The Dictionary of Media and Communications is an invaluable resource that is readable, comprehensive, and authoritative. It is more than a reference book. Because of the centrality of media and communications in modern life, it is, in effect, an introduction to contemporary culture and to the wide-ranging theories and concepts that scholars have developed to better understand the world—some would say the “brave new world”—in which we now live.
This dictionary will be a useful quick-identification source suitable for a school or small public library. Larger, more expensive titles, such as Roy Porter's Biographical Dictionary of Scientists (1994), John Daintith's Biographical Encyclopedia of Scientists (1994), and Gale's Notable Twentieth-Century Scientists (4v., 1995), are available for further information.
