First on any ecology reading list is the Environmental Handbook (95c), a collection of extremely good essays on every conceivable aspect of the crisis. Next, we offer The User's Guide to the Protection of the Environment ($1.25), an encyclopedic investigation of the real consequences of everyday living. It deals comprehensively with brand-name products, nutrition, gardening, soaps, and garbage. Unfortunately it spends only twelve words discussing alternative life-styles as possible solutions to some of our ecological and psychic afflictions. So, important a reference work as it is, no library would be balanced without a Whole Earth Catalog -which...

The housewife will find that while there are no eggplants or zucchini in the food stores, aubergines and courgettes taste exactly like them...
...street is the stage," says the American Yippie Jerry Rubin in Do It!, his handbook for the modern revolutionary. In cities throughout the non-Communist world, that stage is alive with alarming activities: politically motivated arson, bombing, kidnaping and murder. Closely related to these is the phenomenon of skyjacking, for just as the highly complex 20th century city is the most vulnerable point in man's terrestrial sphere, so is the thin-skinned, 600-m.p.h. jet the most vulnerable in the atmosphere. The terrorist activity is worldwide, and most of it is carried out by a new type...
