Anna Betz commented on Stephen Collis's blog post Introducing my forthcoming book: Dispatches from the Occupation"Dear Stephen,
I loved reading the excerpts from your book, especially this: “Facilitating” a revolutionary change means “reading” its patterns and allowing its productive tensions to drive it forward. One does not…"
Stephen Collis commented on Stephen Collis's blog post Introducing my forthcoming book: Dispatches from the Occupation"Still, as far as electronic rights goes, I'm sure we could reproduce some sections of the book on-line."
Stephen Collis commented on Stephen Collis's blog post Introducing my forthcoming book: Dispatches from the Occupation"Thanks George.

We had a small conference on the commons theme here in Vancouver in January. The commons is in the air here, but I'm…"
George Por commented on Stephen Collis's blog post Introducing my forthcoming book: Dispatches from the Occupation"Stephen thank you for sharing the news about your book. Did you or your publisher keep the electronic rights?

Stephen Collis posted a blog postIntroducing my forthcoming book: Dispatches from the Occupation

Change, I argue, is not something that we can ultimately…See More

Welcome dear Stephen! I'm delighted about the possibility to play on this new community playground with you, where some of us are passionate to co-create a cultural and knowledge commons for the Commons.
Would you say something about the key idea of your new book? Maybe an intro portion of it posted in your blog here that you can re-use, of course, in your main blog too...
