I have a general idea of what i think it is, Like when protesters use the web and technology to get messages across to the public? Can anyone please elaborate?

According to the UNESCO Digital Arts Portal, the Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) is a small group of cyber activists and artists engaged in developing the theory and practice of Electronic Civil Disobedience (ECD).
"The Electronic Disturbance Theater, working at the intersections of radical politics, recombinant and performance art, and computer software design, has produced an ECD device called Flood Net, URL based software used to flood and block an opponent's web site."
"Acting in the tradition of non-violent direct action and civil disobedience, proponents of Electronic Civil Disobedience are borrowing the tactics of trespass and blockade from these earlier social movements and are applying them to the Internet. A typical civil disobedience tactic has been for a group of people to physically blockade, with their bodies, the entranceways of an opponent's office or building or to physically occupy an opponent's office -- to have a sit-in. Electronic Civil Disobedience, as a form of mass decentered electronic direct action, utilizes virtual blockades and virtual sit-ins. Unlike the participant in a traditional civil disobedience action, an ECD actor can participate in virtual blockades and sit-ins from home, from work, from the university, or from other points of access to the Net."

Good home theater design book?

OK, I know there are lots of books on the electronics. But what I am more interested in are the considerations that go into room design of a HT. Examples of the kinds of questions I need answers to:
- How do I best proportion the room?
- Should I enclose the projector for noise reasons, and if so, what about cooling?
- I see all these rooms with stages at the front. I read about vague acoustic benefits of such stages, but cannot find any real explanations.
- What are the best room proportions? If I can't do the ideal proportions, what are the consequences?
- Is there a certain amount of room required between the seating and the side walls?
- What's e minimum ceiling height needed (and consequences for violating)? I see recommendations of having 8-10 foot ceilings but that's an unattainable luxury. And is it a good trade off to give up some ceiling height for acoustic drop ceiling?
- Do I need special heating ducts and returns?
- What about acoustic wall treatments? I read you want sound deadening "but not too much." Is there any any way to quantify this?
I recognize I can hire somebody to figure all this out for me, but surely there are books that explain it all. I've seen http://www.home--theater.com but wonder how good an eBook is where every google hit is a site selling it. Thanks!

Mark Flishman (from Home Theater Magazine) has a update to his guide.
F. Alton Everest has a book called "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget" which is a great book on basic room acoustics. He has 'formulas' in the back for several sound studios - and 2 for home-theater rooms.
You might also check out CEDIA: http://www.cedia.net/
This is a organization that teaches stores/installers how to do everything from basic to high-end media rooms.
You might also check out AVS Fourms. They have a section on dedicated HT rooms. Reading the designs and issues the users faced will probably answer most of your questions - and generate more.
Hope this helps.
