First printing, a trade paperback, not issued in hardcover. ‘For more than 15 years the now-legendary magazine in this book's title has been publishing freewheeling conversations with creative refugees, renegades, and others who consciously and philosophically inhabit society's fringes. Perched on the Pacific Rim, in a world of ancient forests and salmon streams, these are the new settlers’: a Wailaki Indian, neo-pagans, a solar executive, a dowser, a bioregionalist, a "techno-hippie," tree-dwellers, natural builders, and others. Fascinating, in depth and wide-ranging interviews with those who have chosen to live in the more remote regions of California’s north coast. Among those speaking out are Jentri Andrews (Mateel resident anthropologist), Carol Miller (on herbal arbotifacients), Julia Butterfly (safeguarding creation) and many others. Illustrated with photographs, 289 pp plus 4 pp advertisements. Oversized square format. SIGNED by the editor, and uncommon thus. Very near fine (a new copy).…

Since 1985, Beth Robinson Bosk and photographer R.D. Deines have published the now-legendary counterculture newsprint magazine New Settler Interview, a bi-monthly collection of long, engrossing, freewheeling conversations with creative refugees and renegardes. Perched on the Pacific Rim, in a world of ancient forests and salmon streams, they are the intrepid pioneers of America's eco-frontier.
This first book-length collection of these mesmerizing dialogues--including an insightful early interview with the now-famous tree-sitter Julia Butterfly Hill--introduces readers to a rich collection of fascinating folks, provides a "keyhole" peek into the counterculture lifestyle, and captures the spirit of spontaneous adventure that characterizes America's back-to-the-land pioneers from coast to coast.

About the Author
In 1985, Beth and partner R.D. Deines founded New Settler Interview, a bi-monthly compilation of long, engrossing dialogues with dedicated emigres from the American mainstream who, like herself, have found a place to call home on the Pacific Rim.
Bosk describes herself as an "advocacy journalist" who takes pride in discovering the next-famous. She was one of the first to interview the then-anonymous tree-sitter Julia Butterfly, at the beginning of her first winter in Luna.
Bosk is actively involved in the ongoing fight to save her region's ancient redwood forests from corporate timbering. As a pivotal ground coordinator of tree-sits--including the present one to protest unethical timbering by the Fisher family of Gap Inc.--Bosk is smack in the middle of "runaway history."
