From the reviews: "This collection of essays, starting with the work of Donald Schon and Geoffrey Vickers, and concluding with the work of Richard Bawden and Etienne Wenger among other contemporaries, is brought together by Chris Blackmore, senior lecturer in environmental and developmental systems at the Open University. It is appropriate for a seminar in communities of practice (CoP) or learning theory. ... This is appropriate for a novice reader." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2011)
