"This is not a book I ever intended to write. It emerged as I
worked to understand the events of September 11, 2001. It is my
effort to make sense of my life and my profession during a
difficult time. My aim is to suggest that understanding information
technology requires an understanding of society and its people and
organizations, especially as we look out over the wreckage of the
high-tech industry and the contradictory aims of government to
protect and control us."-Richard Cox In this series of four essays,
Richard J. Cox explores the social and professional ramifications
of 9/11 on our information landscape. "Musing," written on the
first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, looks back at a year of
change and commemoration. "Reacting" examines the impact of 9/11 on
a department of information sciences. "Preparing" is a cogent
argument for the need to rethink current disaster and contingency
planning practices. "Teaching" focuses on the author's experiences
developing and teaching a doctoral seminar on the role of the
information professional in a post 9/11 world. Miss Manners assures
us that a floral arrangement is always appropriate, no matter how
much time has passed since the event. Neither a cautionary tale nor
practical advice, Flowers After the Funeral is one such bouquet,
its simplicity and thoughtfulness are certain to provide both
comfort and inspiration to its recipients.
