The contributing authors offer subject area expertise in a wide variety of disciplines. Their work collectively offers an international perspective of scholars from multiple continents. As no similar current texts are available, this work fills a gap in scholarship on the sociological effects of mobile technology. Overall, it is a comprehensive work with wide-ranging topical relevance across multiple areas of scholarship. The book will be especially welcome in academic libraries because it includes an exceptionally robust index. Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates.
