Book Review Editor's Message Leslie Regan Shade http.'//aixl. uottawa.ca/- shade his issue I'm pleased to have a review of Alison Adams' Artificial Knowing by ohn Sullins. John is at the Philosophy, Computers, and Cognitive Science Dept. at Binghamton University in New York. Although I heard John give a talk at ACM Policy 98 in Washington D.C., we haven't formally met--only corresponded online so far. I have met Alison though--first in 1994 at the IFIP Women, Work and Computerization Conference (WWC) in Manchester, which she helped organize; and again in 1997 in Bonn at another WWC conference. It's great to see her ideas come together in her fascinating book, and I'm so glad John was inspired to review it. ⢠Here are a few related sites pertaining to the book, and a few new additions to the gender/computer technology debate: Alison Adams' Home Pageat UMIST http://www.co.urniscac.uk/staff/adam.htm Women in Computing, ed.
