Additional text

’This is an interesting book...a must for anyone with views on telework and rural development.’ Teleworker ’...this is a worthwhile book that should appeal to a wide audience. For the most part it is clearly written, and the extensive use of extracts from interviews with teleworkers makes it a valuable addition to what is otherwise a top-heavy body of literature.’ European Review of Agricultural Economics ’Reading the book is quite enjoyable. It is very well structured and very well written, in an accessible language, with a minimum of unnecessary jargon, which in itself deserves a compliment...the results of his research are worth reading and taking note of.’ Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
