Hi, I do a review for a column on current technology. This month I'm doing a column on spread sheets. I'll cover the usual books and software relating to 1-2-3, excel, Quattro Pro and Wingz, but I usually like to site a couple of works which look at the technology not from a machine or software specific focus but from the human aspect of tools for thought. Something above macro design for Excel. But I'm stuck, I can't find any books which look at spread sheets as human tools and what it means to use this specific tool. I did find a couple of good articles in Byte 12/89, but I'd like a book or a book with a good chapter in it. Any suggestions? The magazine is for the general public, so I'm not looking for hard core reserach. Any help much appreciated. --Thom Gillespie
