I won't be at Anaheim, but I'll second Ed's recommendation. At least based on having read the first 10% - it isn't a fast read - but I think it is obvious that Sennett is a remarkable writer and thinker, and has an excellent grasp of a wide range of experience.<br> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite>Regards,</blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite>Fred Sturm</blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite>University of New Mexico</blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><a href="mailto:fssturm@unm.edu">fssturm@unm.edu</a></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite>On Jun 5, 2008, at 9:14 PM, Ed Sutton wrote:</blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><br> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Has anyone on list read <i>The Craftsman</i> by Richard Sennett?</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Has it focused or clarified your thoughts about our work?</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I'd like to have a chance to talk with others who have read it in Anaheim.</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">If interested, please contact me off-list.</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Thanks!</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Ed Sutton</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><a href="mailto:ed440@mindspring.com"><font face="Arial" size="-1">ed440@mindspring.com</font></a></blockquote> </blockquote> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div>Charles Ball, RPT<br> Head Piano Technician<br> The Butler School of Music<br> The University of Texas at Austin<br> 512-471-0763<br> mailto:ckball@mail.utexas.edu</div> </body> </html>
