cultural differences: April 2003 Archives

Today I was in the UCL Waterstones bookshop and took advantage of being in a real bookshop to sit in the comfortable chairs and find a good book to help be get to grips with some of the issues running through my mind, I found Cultural Studies: Theory and Practice, by Chris Barker. It is an undergraduate introductory book to the subject. I decided that cultural studies was the right area to start mining for knowledge. Review when I've read it.

Matt Webb, who writes Interconnected, has pulled together a range of interesting figures on the approx 150 people group size that we are happy with. He references an overview of the tipping point and a gradation of different sizes of society, by Jared Diamond.
More on this later, once I've digested it a bit better, I had written a longer entry, but realized it was a bit woolly. Call this one, thoughts held over for later.
