Organized Human Activity and Its Support by Computer proposes an
answer to the question: what are computers for? With technical
expertise, Anatol Holt analyzes human activity and its relevance to
computer use. Holt interleaves a theory about the universal aspect
of social life with a vision of how to harness computer power. This
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.' Terry Winograd, Stanford University Organized
Human Activity and Its Support by Computer 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. Though technical in spirit and method, this book does
not expect significant prior computer knowledge of the reader.
