About this work

Description

A compendium of contemporary scientific and religious information filtered through early 1970s counterculture sensibilities.

"Once upon a time this book was going to be the Great British Catalogue, a cousin of Stuart [sic] Brand's excellent American shopping list of resources, the Whole Earth Catalog. But it is information, rather than products, that we have indexed, borrowing and stealing elements from encylopedias and the 'underground' press, the prototype popularisers of amazing facts, the Illustrated London News, the Children's Wonder Book of Marvels, H.G. Wells' universal histories of just about everything, to name but a few."-- From Introduction.
