Holt interleaves a theory about the  universal aspect of social life with a vision of how to harness  computer power. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e`\u003c\/strong\u003eThis book is a culmination of a life of work that exemplifies  two characteristics of the author: intellectual passion, and a concern  for what matters to people. In the past thirty years, Holt has been a  participant in the computing work at every level, from managing  computer systems to developing commercial software to publishing  theoretical articles in academic journals. His breadth of knowledge  and experience makes possible the interweaving of theory and practice  that shapes the fabric of this book. People often make a false  opposition between theory and practice. In this case, it is a synergy:  practice guides the theory, and the theory is grounded in its  application.\u003cstrong\u003e'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eTerry Winograd, Stanford University\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOrganized Human Activity and Its Support by Computer\u003c\/em\u003e will be of  interest to those concerned with computers, especially those with and  interest in `groupware'. Particular relevance to social scientists,  management scientists, students of law, and philosophers are also  addressed.
