5.0 out of 5 stars
The DEFINITIVE guide to all things theoretical!!,
By Chris Ranedo-Klein (crk@tinet.ie) (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dictionary of Cultural and Critical Theory (Paperback)
I strongly reccomend this book to anyone working in the fields of cultural and communications theory. The explanations are straightforward and accurate. The cross-referencing is exhaustive and well laid out. The first dictionary I ever read cover to cover!!!
