Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the book reviews:
"This 1,000-plus page volume attempts to categorize the various aspects of 'human computation' and its evolution. . Each chapter ends with a conclusion or summary and a well-constructed collection of references. The 20-page index reflects a concern for referencing material between chapters and should serve the reader well. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners." (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 51 (11), August, 2014)
