520    For many, it was more than a publication: it was a way of 
       life. 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.
