The Whole Earth Catalog billed itself as "Access to Tools," and it grew from a Bay Area blip to a national phenomenon catering to hippies, do-it-yourselfers, and anyone interested in self-sufficiency independent of mainstream America (now known as "living off the grid"). In recovering the history of the Catalog's unique brand of environmentalism, historian Kirk recounts how Stewart Brand and the Point Foundation promoted a philosophy of pragmatic environmentalism that celebrated technological achievement, human ingenuity, and sustainable living. Kirk shows us that Whole Earth was more than a mere counterculture fad. At a time when many of these ideas were seen as heretical to a predominantly wilderness-based movement, it became a critical forum for environmental alternatives and a model for how complicated ecological ideas could be presented in a hopeful and even humorous way.--From publisher description. 600 10 Brand, Stewart.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80066741 600 17 Brand, Stewart.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/55611 630 00 Whole earth catalog (New York, N.Y.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n88515513 630 00 Coevolution quarterly. 630 7 Whole earth catalog (New York, N.Y.)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1386377 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Environmentalism|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009103412 650 0 Counterculture|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009122128 650 0 Counterculture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00002005|zCalifornia|zSan Francisco|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79018452-781|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Technology|xEnvironmental aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010115861|zUnited States.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Appropriate technology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85006184|xCatalogs|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2005003411|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Environmentalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 913543 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Counterculture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/881315 650 7 Technology|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1145116 650 7 Appropriate technology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/811814 650 7 Catalogs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/848831 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 California|zSan Francisco.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1204481 830 0 Culture America.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n98088766 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 465491 994 C0|bRID
