Hi Arik, Craig and Andrew,

Thanks for the publicity for this effort.  I am quite pleased with the way it has been received.  It is a research monograph rather than a text book but I think that the articles which are included will have relevance to practitioners too.  In Chapter 1, I have attempted to bring together the various strands of intelligence location which can typically be found in a firm, which may (only may) go some way to bringing clarity to the fuzziness of real-life CI work.  Craig has given an accurate web link for anybody wishing to purchase a copy but if you have problems there, then you can also try this one which is priced in GBP: http://www.taylorandfrancis.com/books/details/9780415631280/

Thanks again

Sheila
