About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Founded in 1974 by the staff of the Whole Earth Catalog, CoEvolution Quarterly lasted 10 years as a small circulation magazine whose ecological, post-'60s banner allowed diversity. This lively, generous selection includes Paul Ehrlich on the biology of communities, R. Crumb drawings, Pat Califia's lesbian sadomasochists' manifesto, Earl Butz debating Wendell Berry, a poem by Gary Snyder, Ivan Illich on computers, Ursula Le Guin on menopause, a wide-ranging discussion between Margaret Mead and husband Gregory Bateson, personal essays by Ken Kesey and others, a symposium featuring Herman Kahn and Governor Jerry Brown and a definitive article "On Farting." Although some pieces have a smug undertone of preaching to the converted, the range of contents offers satisfyingly divergent viewpoints.

From Library Journal:

CoEvolution Quarterly, a magazine of alternative opinion, flourished for a decade, then became part of the Whole Earth Review. This collection represents the publication's "most lasting work," some 41 items on all sorts of subjects, including salons, the earth's atmosphere, mice, basketball, the arms race, suicide, and a story of lost young love. Ivan Illich, Paul Ehrlich, and editor Brand (of Whole Earth Catalog fame) are among the contributors. Although not a first-choice selection for most libraries, News That Stayed News offers a convenient second look at one of the most inventive small mags of recent times. Kenneth F. Kister, Pinellas Park P.L., Fla.
