| The CoEvolution Quarterly |
This publication was launched in 1974 with proceeds from the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG.

The publication's statement of purpose read in part: "We are dedicated to demystification, to self-teaching, and to encouraging people to think for themselves. Thus our Motto: 'access to tools and ideas' ... We recommend rather than attack ... we change with the times that we help change ... We update ourselves continually ... We're not a "political" magazine ... We are deliberately eclectic." |
