encyclopedIA oF SocIAl netWorkS tWo-volume Set
George A. Barnett, University of California, Davis
This two-volume encyclopedia provides a thorough introduction to the wide-ranging, fast-developing field of social
networking, a much-needed resource at a time when new social networks or "communities" seem to spring up on
the internet every day. Social networks, or groupings of individuals tied by one or more specific types of interests or
interdependencies ranging from likes and dislikes, or disease transmission to the "old boy" network or overlapping
circles of friends, have been in existence for longer than services such as Facebook or YouTube; analysis of these
networks emphasizes the relationships within the network. This reference resource offers comprehensive coverage
of the theory and research within the social sciences that has sprung from the analysis of such groupings, with
accompanying definitions, measures, and research.

populAr muSIc Four-volume Set
Chris Rojek, Brunel University, UK
This collection focuses on social science perspectives of popular music since the late 1970s. Since then, social
scientists like Simon Frith, Larry Grossberg, Will Straw, Paul Willis, Andy Bennett, Keith Negus, Howard Becker and
Sarah Thornton have intensively examined the phenomenon of popular music from a social science and cultural
studies perspective. This is part of the same move in the social and cultural sciences that has magnified Visual Culture,
Celebrity Culture, Television Studies, Film Studies, Media & Communication, Fashion, and much else besides as
legitimate subjects for academic enquiry. This move has become known as 'the Cultural Turn'. This collection launches
from the Cultural Turn, but it will also incorporate key articles from the early social science of pop music. The aim will
be to provide researchers and libraries with a four volume distillation of the best that has been thought and published
in the academic study of popular music.

Second edItIon
James Price Dillard, Pennsylvania State University • Lijiang Shen, University of Georgia
The second edition of the saGe Handbook of persuasion: developments in theory and practice provides readers
with logical, comprehensive summaries of research in a wide range of areas related to persuasion. From a topical
standpoint, this handbook takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering issues that will be of interest to interpersonal
and mass communication researchers as well as to psychologists and public health practitioners. Persuasion is
presented in this volume on a micro to macro continuum, moving from chapters on cognitive processes, the individual,
and theories of persuasion, to chapters highlighting broader social factors and phenomena related to persuasion,
such as social context and larger scale persuasive campaigns. Each chapter identifies key challenges to the area and
provides research strategies for addressing those challenges.
