New Book Reviews IGI Global's peer-reviewed publications are painstakingly compiled by the most acclaimed researchers in the field, ensuring cutting-edge scholarly content for the dissemination of knowledge worldwide. In support of these titles, here are some excerpts of recent reviews of outstanding titles for the month of May.

Implementation and Critical Assessment of the Flipped Classroom Experience
Abigail G. Scheg (Elizabeth City State University, USA)
"This critical assessment across disciplines addresses challenges related to institutional traditions, existing beliefs of long-standing faculty, and perceived challenges from both the instructors and students of the flipped classroom. [...] While challenges abound for successful implementation, this text offers a variety of solutions and recommendations to support academics whom are actively promoting critical thinking and conceptual understanding among their students."
– Dr. Vicki Johnson-Lawrence, MS, PhD, Public Health and Health Sciences Department, University of Michigan

Social Media in Higher Education: Teaching in Web 2.0
Monica Patrut (Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacau, Romania) and Bogdan Patrut (Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacau, Romania)
"This title collates numerous studies focused on social media and illustrates the advantages of using social media in higher education. This book is well organized and lends itself successfully to the study of different social media. In addition, the authors offer extraordinary viewpoints to rethink the academic work environment based on social media tools and applications, such as Twitter and Facebook, in accordance with the needs of students. Overall, the book provides teachers, researchers, educators, as well as software developers, up-to-date content about the impact of different social media tools on the current educational environment."
– Dr. Chia-Wen Tsai, Professor Pei-Di Shen and Yi-Chun Chiang, Ming Chuan University, Taiwan

Exchanging Terrorism Oxygen for Media Airwaves: The Age of Terroredia
Mahmoud Eid (University of Ottawa, Canada)
"Mahmoud Eid and his colleagues not only situate a neologism Terroredia as a key point of discussion, but also present one of the best attempts I have read to explain why we are obsessed with terrorism. The codependency brilliantly discussed by Eid reveals coherence with many of my research arguments in respect to the connection between labor organization and terrorism."
– Professor Maximiliano Korstanje, University of Palermo, Argentina

Multicultural Awareness and Technology in Higher Education: Global Perspectives
Tomayess Issa (Curtin University, Australia), Pedro Isaias (Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal) and Piet Kommers (University of Twente, The Netherlands)
"Helps readers gain awareness of and appreciation for the intercultural aspect of technology-driven teaching and learning. Current instructional design models, learning theories, and an array of pedagogical frameworks presented for a diverse range of learners and teachers from multiple subject areas not only support technology-enhanced education from a multicultural, multidisciplinary approach, but provide readers with a rich understanding of the contemporary, digital learning and teaching environments under global e-context. Based on its rich content and solid organization, I highly recommend this book."
– Seda Khadimally, MEd, ALM, EdD Candidate, California College of Communications, USA

Handbook of Research on Global Business Opportunities
Bryan Christiansen (PryMarke, LLC, USA)
"This book covers some of the most important aspects of international business, from the state of the global economy to the problem of corruption. As such, this text is of great importance to all international firms, both large and small. With insight from a vast array of geographic and industrial settings, the editors have taken great care in ensuring that the contents are relevant to a broad range of readers. Recommended."
– Dr. Christopher Richardson, Graduate School of Business, Universiti Sains Malaysia

Enhancing Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research with Technology
Shalin Hai-Jew (Kansas State University, USA)
"A practical book which places the need for rigor and thoughtful research design at the forefront of the research endeavor, and then goes on to show how technology can enhance the available data pool, extract data from the pool and then help to manage the research project, enhance the data analysis and possibly enhance the presentation of results. Recommended."
– Dr. Howard Harris, University of South Australia Business School
