(((The Viridian issue of WHOLE EARTH is in print and hitting the streets. I have one on my desk right now. I even have posters of the awe-inspiring cover.

(((Whole Earth's motto is "Access to tools, ideas and practices," and we Viridians delivered on that score in spades. This issue is as dense as plutonium. Whole Earth Summer 2001 is mightily Viridian, as Viridian a document as has ever existed. No other publication features Big Mike the Viridian Bug as a page colophon.

(((Check out this table of contents. Then, go buy copies for yourself and everyone you know. This hot and smoky summer, we are where it's at!)))
