While there may be many of the OAE family that feels such work is a "significant step ...." I also urge us to listen and to view the reviews of this general "adventure programming" work - one such 1999 review from a leisure studies approach sees it as as a "pretence at academic respectability". maybe it depends upon the reviewer and maybe it all depends upon the width and depth of the knowledge of the reviewing community-zone itself. My point is that we must also respect the many critiques of this kind of work for such critiques are there and are quite "heavy". I do not mean here to attack the adventure programming works but I do wish to see a considered evaluation that includes the many disciplined reviewers that are already at work from just "outside" our own group. Finally this is not, in any way, an attack on this new Miles and Priest work. steve bowles Peter Bunyan wrote: > Having just received my inspection copy of the aboce text I strongly urge > you to view it.
