Finding Anything? Or just find something... (the link even)

An interesting book review from one of my GIS e-magazines.

Originally posted in DirectionsMag.com's book reivew section of their e-Newsletter, the book reviewer (credited below) puts her take on Morville's interpretation of "e-space".


She's a Penn Stater, and has a good review. I have been cautiously admonished about copyright rules on the web - so no more cut and pastes. (Guess I'm a bit to wild and fancy free for this straight laced web stuff - joke). But even good links fade away, so I have retained the author's credencies and article source for anyone to find.
