JoAnne From: Members <members-bounces@lists.sigcis.org> On Behalf Of James Cortada Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2020 10:58 AM To: sigcis <members@sigcis.org> Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] New Book Dear colleagues, I wanted to bring to your attention a book of possible interest. Rowman & Littlefield just published a book I wrote, Building Blocks of Society: History, Information Ecosystems, and Infrastructures, which brings together much of my thinking about how to write the history of information filled environments. It includes a series of case studies dealing with computer scientists, IBM sales staffs, and how our community of IT historians created their own information ecosystem, in addition to other case studies.
