Argh! An evil typo!
	E. F. Schumacher, Small Is Beautiful, Economics as if People Mattered
	Perennial Library, Harper & Rowe, 1973, New York.
also recommended:
	George McRobie, Small is Possible, Harper & Rowe, 1981, New York.
	Victor Papenek, Design for the Real World, Bantam Books, 1973, Toronto.
These books are really about "appropriate" design and technology, not really
"small" designs, although many of them are small.  I strongly recommend
them for systems designers, i.e., sources of perspectives from design
areas outside computing.
