The annotations give a helpful summary of the works as well as explaining the connections to communication. Greenberg includes some works that deal with poststructuralist themes without using the term 'poststructuralism,' which is especially helpful to researchers....The bibliography should prove helpful to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars interested in the implications of poststructuralism for communication.

Greenberg (information services, Ohio State U. library) provides 290 entries for books, book chapters and journals that describe the impact of poststructuralist philosophy on aspects of human communication, including art, communication in management and organizations, computer science, education, history, journalism, language, literature and literary criticism, mass media, nursing, psychology, social science, technology and writing. After a brief introduction, Moore provides full citations for the entries, along with a synopsis of each sufficient to direct readers to appropriate sources. While entries do not substitute for reading the paper or book, those at the initial stages of research will find them useful for sorting out theoretical approaches.
