of contemporary media and culture. these book reviews are free, open to
the public, and available here: ( http://rccs.usfca.edu/booklist.asp ).

the review by the end of august 2007, please contact me. please include:
a) the name of the book you wish to review, b) your professional
affiliation, and c) a sentence or two about why you want to review this
book. if selected, i will send you a free review copy of the book and
ask you to send me your review by the end of august. if you already have
many commitments for summer and do not think you can read and review the
book by the end of august, please pass until next time.

Department of Media Studies
2130 Fulton Street

and UK and books written in languages other than english.

the following books are available for review. if interested, please
contact me (dmsilver [ at ] usfca.edu) prior to JUNE 1, 2007.
