These changing ruralities are presented here as the lived experiences of individuals, businesses and communities, and the ways in which their experiences are being enhanced, undermined and variously modified through application of ICTs within business, home, leisure and social relations. The book examines the space and place implications of these changes, as reported in a range of rural settings within Scandinavia and Western Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential read for economists interested in the area, Information and Communication Technologies in Rural Society will benefit postgraduate students in areas of research such as rural development, regional development and new technology management among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grete Rusten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415411165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415411165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Grete Rusten","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136083276031,"sku":"9780415411165","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_804e08a1-5acc-4213-b17f-105eff2b8176.jpg?v=1770160399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/information-and-communication-technologies-in-grete-rusten-9780415411165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
