How do you reference a book review?

Schatz, B. R. (2000). Learning by text or context? [Review of the book The social life of information]. Science, 290, 1304.

If the review is untitled, use the material in brackets as the title; retain the brackets to indicate that the material is a description of form and content, not a title.

Identify the type of medium being reviewed in brackets (book, motion picture, television program, etc.).
