There are certain words, names and concepts that come up again and again throughout the book, throughout this web site, and throughout my other writing.

I call these "hot words," and they are words that bear closer consideration. Throughout the book I underline these words as if they were hypertext links on a web page, to indicate that they represent concepts that will carry through the whole book.

To see a glossary of Hot Words, select Hot Words from the leaf menu.

To meet some of the people I talk about in The Connected Family, choose "Hot Names."
