BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT with ttr pub- Ii, Wildwood Hour, w à now abte to offer our book Radical Technology to Undercurrents rÑd- at IMS than half prim -only £1.95 postpmid!

Radical Technologyis widely recognised as tin standard comprehensive work in the field. But don't take our word for it. As Alvin Toffler, author of best-sellers Future Shock and The Third Wave put it:

"For people who s t i l l think of the future in terms of mega-machines and all-power- ful bureaucracies, Radical Technology will be an eye- Bpener. It proves what many Futurists, ecologists and philo- wphers have been saying: there is an alternative. Radical Technology offers a Fresh way to think about tomorrow. Nothing could be nore useful."

". . . this book is different. It has sharp criticisms of society and just about everything else you might think of . . . coupled with the best presentation of 'Visions' of what may be done that I've seen . . . .The only book in this part of the culture that I have personally found exciting and excited." J.Baldwin in The Next Whole Earth Catalog.

". , .a tightly packed compendium of information covering subjects like organic gardening, indirect solar energy, phone phreaking and how to make your own shoes . . . . Radical Technology is packed with sustained outburst of sanity about the way we live . . ." - Michael White in The Guardian.

"The editors of Radical Techno/& have produced an important book that is realistic and visionary, prggmatic and principled, serious and lighthearted, sobering and inspiring." - Rob Paton in Peace News.

". . . the best single introduction to the philosophy and hardware of the intermediate technology movement."

Dennis Livingston in Futures ". . . a tightly packed compendium of information covering subjects like organic gardening, indirect solar energy, phone phreaking and how to make your own shoes. . . Radical Technology i s packed with sustained outbursts of sanity about the way we live. . .

'"Down to Earth is an excellent, thorough survey of the issues"

Tom Burke, Friends Of'The Earth International

"Struggling week by week to survive, caught in endless cycles of hunger, illiteracy, exploi- tation and disease, the absolute poor have no time to worry aboutglobal environment trends Yet. . . many are forced b y circum- stances beyond their control to destroy the very resources from which they must scrape their living."

Eckholm's analysis of the state of the en- vironment covers population growth, health, the oceans, pollution and toxic wastes, the global atmosphere and energy, soil erosbn and descrtification, deforestation and bio- logical diversity. It gives fn authoritative and balanced eva luen of humanity's progress tow& what Barbara Ward called 'the care and maintenSnce of a small planet'.
