I have explored these questions all my life, in industry, in universities, and now as an unpaid person trying to respond to the modern life outside institutions and the roles they prescribe. A summary of what I have been doing, and the thoughts that have guided me, appears in (my book) the internet and everyone.
[when this was broadcast on radio resonance (on 9 january 2004) I paused here to read a text called the education of everyone - about the imaginary rock foundation selected by chance from pages 444-446 of this book]The book has been given good reviews (see http://www.publicwriting.net/2.2/reviews.i&e.html ) but so far few people have bought it. And now the publishers have decided to offer me the remaining copies and I hope to make them available to people who want them, or else to store them awaiting better times...
My first thought is to make the book available to mail order via the internet*.

(I imagine the book [ISBN 1-899858-20-2] is still available for the moment from the publishers Batsford Books and via www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.com - but after January 2004 I hope to distribute it myself. )If you wish to reproduce any of this text commercially please send a copyright permission request to jcj at publicwriting.net
