This third volume of Information and Behavior shows broad
continuities with previous volumes in this series, but it also
represents an important evolution. In emphasizing theoretical
advances in mediation, information, and communication processes,
this volume has unifying themes at the cutting edge of
communication research, linking communication with areas as
far-ranging as cognitive psychology, intellectual history, social
psychology, policy, and macroeconomics. A sampling of the contents
indicates both continuities and discontinuities of communication
research embodied in this volume. Contributions include Joseph
Turow, "Mass Communication as Concept"; Gary Grumpert and Robert
Cathcart, "A Theory of Mediation;" Leah Lievrouw and T. Andrew
Finn, "Common Dimensions of Communication"; Joshua Meyrowitz,
"Mediated and Unmediated Behavior"; Kathleen Reardon, "Teaching
Children About AIDS"; Sari Thomas, "The Death of Intellectual
History and the Birth of the Transient Past"; Sheizaf Rafaeli,
"Interacting with Media." The second part of the work, emphasizing
research and policy in specific information societies and regions,
includes an opening essay by Everett M. Rogers, and follow-up
studies by Judith K. Larsen on "Silicon Valley"; Quentin W. Lindsey
on "The North Carolina Research Triangle"; Luis Fonseca, "High
Technology in Brazil"; Ruyzo Ogasawara, "High Technology in Japan";
and Mitchell Moss, "Telecommunications and Financial Centers." The
final two portions of the book cover social theory and cultural
processes. They include articles by Jerry Salvaggio and Richard
Nelson, "Models for Developing Telecommunications and Information
Industries"; Everett M. Rogers and James Dearing,
"University-Industry Technology Transfer"; Frederick Williams, "The
Communications Revolution Revisited"; Rolf Wigand, "Recurring
Questions about the Information Society"; Lee Thayer, "Tropes and
Things"; Gordon L. Miller, "The Energy of Intelligence"; David
Carr, "Thinking in Museums;" Benjamin J. Bates, "Information as an
Economic Good"; Jorge Schement and Daniel Stout, "A Time-Line of
