Bruce,

The site I was referring to was at: http://csf.colorado.edu/psn/marx/. It
also has the search engine that Bruce was referring to.

On the subject of Ilyenkov, I remember awhile ago Peter Jones mention a
book by/about Ilyenkov which sounded very interesting, but was unable to
find any record of such a book in the states.

While on the topic (http://www.iscrat.org/) refers to the following book:
*Activity Theory and Social Practice: Cultural-Historical Approaches*
edited by Seth Chaiklin, Mariane Hedegaard, and Uffe Juul Jensen which
seems very interesting but have been unable to find it either at Amazon or
Barnes. ISCRAT makes it appear that the book is in circulation, is this not
correct. It seems very interesting with chapters by Gita and Davydov among
others.
