FITS WELL WITH GROWING LIST OF BOOKS ON YOUTH CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPING PSYCHOLOGY LIST: Weber is well known in education, gender studies, and technology circles. She is also known for her groundbreaking research projects on young women and gaming. This new book will bring a respected education professor to the list who will also be of interest to psychologists.TIMELY: Educational technology interest is at an all-time high, our books on gaming and technology are selling well, and this is one of the latest books that really focuses in on a new area within gaming: young women and girls. STRONG SUPPORT: Julia Davies [in-house use only], who studies gaming, gender, and achievement issues, calls this proposal ¿distinctive and authentic¿a burgeoning field of research¿as the editors argue in this proposal, young people are engaged multifariously with digital technology and are developing its uses in ways to suit themselves. It is very important that their activities are documented and publicised so that teachers and all those involved with the young and with policy planning responsibilities, are kept informed of these important developments. I would urge publication of this collection.¿
