Books in the Hampton Press Communication Series: New Media series

This volume traces the history of knowledge, information, and cognate categories as variables in economic thought, from their first appearance in early classical economics, through their place in neo-classical, institutional, and neo-institutional economics, to their role in contemporary investigations in economic psychology.

Contributing to a series on policy and research issues in new media, Baker (sociology, Ohio U.-Lancaster) adds to the literature on Internet studies by presenting her research on couples who met in cyberspace. Via an e-mail questionnaire, she studied their online meeting places, modes of communication (e.g. cyber-flirting), and offline meeting. Thr
