A Review of The Handbook of Research of Virtual Workplaces Published in Technical Communication

Just about a year and a half after Kirk St. Amant and myself published The Handbook of Research of Virtual Workplaces and the New Nature of Business Practices (IGI), the journal Technical Communication published a review of the book, written by Gary Hernandez, a communication manager for BP and frequent contributor of book reviews to the journal. The review is generally positive. Here is a passage from it:

Considering the speed of business and the pace [with which] technological innovations continue to progress, Handbook of research on virtual workplaces and the new nature of business practices runs the risk of depleting its relevancy in a few short years. For the time being, it is bound to prove a great resource for students and practitioners of communication.

While we cannot do anything about the fast pace of the development of technologies, I am pleased that Hernandez thinks that at least for the time being, the book is a good resource.
