Hi -
Want to add my two bits here - that for people like myself, who are not
university affiliated, prices like these just keep the books out of our
ken altogether. The same goes for conference fees (unless they're waived,
which is a rarity), etc. The two tiered system is in place, here and now,
and a lot of us are tired of back-peddling to get the latest findings in
research, JSTOR, etc. This creates an academic enclave that parallels
those described by Davis re: homeowners associations, etc. You pay your
dues, literally, or remain ignorant and end up always - always - watching
the dialog occur elsewhere.
Personally, I'm disgusted by these prices; I wish there were waivers for
those of us in the pale, below the poverty line, whatever. A 'Handbook' is
supposed to be useful, almost in the sense of fieldwork - but whose field-
work?

This sounds excellent, as far as it goes, of course; the problem arises if
one tries to get the entire book. There are a lot of open source academic
publications online; I'm surprised that Wiley et. al. charges so much,
given this. POD is not all that expensive, by the way, as Lulu and other
venues show.
Thanks, Alan

Just want to note that the university libraries here, that I'm familiar
with, are not open to public borrowing and most aren't open to public
browsing either.

Or even make papers available for free; some of the cosmologists I read
(an area I'm interested in) make their work, even their technical work
that's been peer-reviewed, available on their websites. And of course with
things like ITunesU and the initiatives from MIT, Stanford, and a lot of
other universities (including Pakistan), courses and lecture notes are
often available gratis (you can download Leonard Susskind's physics/
cosmology courses for example). The problem with JSTOR and overly-
expensive academic press books, is that the discourse and associated
intellectual life, remains enclaved; for the life of me I don't understand
why conferences don't have tiered payment systems, for example - and the
problems are related.

This may be minor, but my partner has a Nook and can rent e-books from the
New York Public Library; apparently this is spreading in a number of
places. So the traditional library is becoming, not only partly digital,
but also democratized - you can be housebound and still receive your
books, for example.

Paradise
http://www.alansondheim.org/paradise.mp4
Paradise is always inner-lit, and avatars are ghosts,
physics holds its breath, our breath is held by physics,
we hold physics accountable, the world is unaccountable,
avatars hold our breath, we breath physics into avatars,
our avatars are inner-lit, our breath is motivated,
our avatars breathe life in us, our lives are avatars,
avatars are unaccountable, they hold our paradise,
our paradise is avatars, our avatars are physical,
our physics is abject and avatars, and holds our breath,
our breath is abject and inner-lit, we breathe our ghosts,
ghosts are our paradise, they hold our breath,
'fleeing physics and ghosts, our breathing harbors death;
'fleeing avatars and paradise, red dust is unaccountable;
'fleeing breath and motivation, our death is absolute.'
