In the present digital revolution we often seem trapped in a Kafkaesque world of technological advances; some desired; some disliked or even feared; which we cannot influence but must accept. This book discusses the urgent need to redress this situation. The authors argue that technologies succeed or fail according to their relevance and value to people; who need to be actively engaged in order to create shared visions and influence their implementation.

Enjoyable and useful for visitorsBy PatriciaNice if youre an interested local; or someone who likes to intensify your experience of a place youre visiting by knowing its history. There are six chapters; each devoted to a phase of history; with a short introduction to each. This is basically a collection of photos with about a paragraph to describe each one and put it into historical context. Its printed on high quality paper. Some of these pictures make me wish for a time machine! But the community has done a fine job of preserving their unique rustic atmosphere.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful backstory for people who love this magical place!By Mary JaneI adore Idyllwild; We go every chance we get. I was curious about the history of the town and this book was perfect for filling in the blanks. Lots of great old photos; a very detailed history of the area and some great little factoids that make our visits even more interesting now that we know the history of the little town we love so much. Its a fast read; and a great book to have on your shelf.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerNice
