Abstract
With the mobile phone being a pervasive part of contemporary everyday lives and with over 5 billion users worldwide (ITU 2010), the lack of a textbook on mobile communication is surprising. Green and Haddon fill an important gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive handbook specifically addressed to students of new media. In their own words, the main goal of the volume is to challenge the taken-for-granted assumptions implicit in our daily practices of use and ‘make the familiar strange’ (p. 2).
