[ecrea] New book: David Gauntlett - 'Making is Connecting: The Social Meaning of Creativity, from DIY and Knitting to YouTube and Web 2.0'.

I hope list members won?t mind me announcing my new book, just published 
by Polity Press.

It's called 'Making is Connecting: The Social Meaning of Creativity, 
from DIY and Knitting to YouTube and Web 2.0'.

Clay Shirky has said it is "A terrific account of how creativity, craft, 
and community intersect in the 21st century".

More information is at http://www.makingisconnecting.org

and it?s available at Amazon UK for £12.56: http://amzn.to/a5kULN

And if you're anywhere near London, on Saturday April 9 we have a free 
LAUNCH EVENT featuring delicious cakes, tea, and crafty 
making-and-connecting activities for all the family! In a lovely new 
creative workshop space next to Whitechapel Art Gallery. All FREE and 
very informal. Everyone welcome.
