Playing by the Rules: Alternative Thinking/ Alternative Spaces

Notes

The perceived rules of the development and running of alternative spaces, and where those rules came from, are among the questions answered by the authors. The underlying message in the publication is the importance of critical thinking as well as the need for alternative thinking.
