Two early issues of The Mother Earth News, still in publication today! "The Mother Earth News [...] is a bi-monthly publication edited by, and for, today's turned-on people of all ages. The creative ones. The doers. The folks who make it all happen. Heavy emphasis is placed on alternative lifestyles, ecology, working with nature and doing more with less." --Editorial. No. 7 includes articles about homesteading, starting a rock shop, retiring in morocco, building a sauna, granola, Bob and Deborah Arnold's environmental filmmaking. No. 10 features weather forecasting; natural pest control, survival sewing, selling paintings, chicken-powered car, anarchist ecology, bicycle camping and arkansas commune. Much of this could still be useful and relevant today! See what the Back-to-the-Land movement was like when it was first articulated in the 1970s.
