I haven't read *Human Scale* yet, but I have read Ivan Illich's book *Tools for Conviviality*, which also deals with human scale. I would recommend it to anyone concerned with the effects of the tools that we use (and design) every day. (Illich uses the word tool to cover every- thing from public school systems and highways to computers and pliers.) I found it to be though provoking and a bit frightening. You should all read it! (It's only about 120 pp.) Comments welcomed... Herb Jellinek, homo tollens burdvax!hdj
