Whole Earth Catalog March 1970

“I travel around the world a great deal, and everywhere I hear humanity saying, ‘We are not against any other human beings; we feel the world ought to work properly.’ Everywhere they say it’s our politicians that get us into trouble. This is the majority viewpoint all around the earth today.” –R. Buckminster Fuller

The Whole Earth Catalog (WEC) was an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. The magazine featured essays and articles, but was primarily focused on product reviews. The editorial focus was on self-sufficiency, ecology, alternative education, "do it yourself" (DIY), and holism, and featured the slogan "access to tools". (Wikipedia)

The Whole of the Whole Earth Catalog Is Now Online

The seminal DIY catalogs, journals, and magazines printed by the techno-hippie publishing house are finally available online in digital form, all for free.

Wired magazine notifies us that the Whole Earth Catalog is now available online for free! But ironically, that Wired article is behind a paywall.

Not anymore.

It's December 7th, 📸 Blue Marble Day. On this day in 1972, on their way from the Earth to the Moon, one of the Apollo 17 crew members shot an image of Earth that has turned out to be one of the most reproduced images in history. NASA credited the image to the entire crew – Gene Cernan, Ronald Evans, and Harrison Schmitt – but evidence suggests that Schmitt snapped the photo. 

The astronauts had the Sun behind them, so the image shows the Earth almost fully illuminated. To the astronauts, the Earth had the appearance and size of a glass marble – hence the name. The Blue Marble shows the Earth from the Mediterranean Sea to Antarctica. Almost the entire coastline of Africa is clearly visible, as well as the Arabian Peninsula and Madagascar. The Asian mainland is on the horizon. The Tamil Nadu cyclone can be seen in the bottom left of the image. This storm had brought flooding and high winds to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu two days earlier. 

The Blue Marble wasn't the first clear image taken of an illuminated face of the Earth – similar satellite images had already been created as early as 1967. The Apollo 17 image, however, was released during a surge of environmental activism during the 1970s and became a symbol of the environmental movement – a depiction of Earth's frailty, vulnerability, and isolation amidst the vast expanse of space. 

The idea for the photo was conceived by Stewart Brand, editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, during an LSD trip. His psychedelic hallucination of the curvature of the Earth convinced him that a picture of the entire planet would change how mankind related to it, and he successfully lobbied NASA to do it. We are all forever grateful, Mr. Brand and Mr. Schmitt. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
