If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

I'm being driven insane doing the Tasmanian photography book. The software for page layout is not sophisticated enough to do text properly. It s okay for a book of photographs but not images and text. Though I thought I was doing something quite simple--some photos plus a bit of text ---I've bitten off more than I can chew.
More sophisticated software is need for this kind of desktop publishing so that I can obtain a more professional page layout. It looks as if I will have to invest in Adobe InDesign if I am to become a small publisher of e-books.
That means doing courses in learning how to use this software. Is that TAFE? This opens up possibilities of e-readers triggering a wave of innovation in books such as works that mix text and audiovisual content and short-form e-books.
This suggests that digital technology is strengthening, not weakening the book as we have new ways of distributing the printed book. . Books will also be more easily available -- and not just in digital form--because the new printing technology means that books can now be cheaply produced on demand. This printing on demand may well prove to more popular than titles produced by conventional printing.
