1. See especially Cognition in the Wild (1995), by Edward Hutchins, Cambridge: MIT Press. Also, The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (1996), by Francisco J. Varela, Evan Thompson, and Eleanor Rosch, Cambridge: MIT Press.

2. For instance, Understanding practice: Perspectives on activity and context (1993), Eds. Chaiklin and Lave, New York: Cambridge UP.

3. I highly recommend The Wealth of Reality: an Ecology of Composition (1999), by M.A. Syverson, forthcoming from Southern Illinois University Press (due for release in June, 1999).

5. I will be reversing this next year. I am currently preparing a course on cyberpoesis which will concentrate primarily on literary analysis beginning with William Blake, moving on to Emily Dickenson, some of the contemporary "visual"poets, and then web and Storyspace poetry.
