 FUNCTION
The WHOLE EARTH CATALOG functions as an evaluation and access
device. With it, the user should know better what is worth getting and
where and how to do the getting.

An item is listed in the CATALOG if it is deemed:

1) Useful as a tool,
2) Relevant to independent education,
3) High quality or low cost,
3 4) Not already common knowledge,
5) Easily available by mail.

This information is continually revised according to the experience and

suggestions of CATALOG users and staff.

PURPOSE |
We are as gods and might as well get good at it. So far, remotely done
power and glory—as via government, big business, formal education,
church—has succeeded to the point where gross defects obscure actual
gains. In response to this dilemma and to these gains a realm of intimate,
personal power is developing—power of the individual to conduct his
own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment,
=p and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this
: process are sought and promoted by the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG.

People who beef about Fuller mainly complain about his

repetition — the same ideas again and again, it’s embarassing..
!t is embarassing, also illuminating, because the same notions
take on different uses when re-approached from different
angles or with different contexts, Fuller’s lectures have a
raga quality of rich nonlinear endless improvisation full of
convergent surprises.

playing obsolete games, but that is a task that cannot be accom—
plished by political and social reforms. Man is so deeply conditioned

obsolete games will be abandoned only when realistic, happier and

Tension and Compression are complementary functions of structure.

Therefore as functions they only co-exist. When pulling a tensional
rope its girth contracts in compression. When we load a column in
compression its girth tends to expand in tension. When we investi-
gate tension and compression, we find that compression members, as
you all know as architects, have very limited lengths in relation to
their cross sections. They get too long and too slander and will
readily break. Tension members, when you pull them, tend to pull,

fascinating mixture of overgeneralization,
simplification, undifferentiated fact

the weakest form of argument, this

Here too the form of the vortex seems to
hover invisibly over the growth processes,
even before the horns are actually there,
for they proceed along this spiral path with
mathematical exactitude in their annual
growth. It is significant that the axes of
the two spiralling horns meet either in the
nose or the eyes or in their immediate vici-
nity, a fact which stresses the strong con-
nection of the horns with sense perception
and with the anin.al’s sense of its surround-
\ ings. Furthermore, in structure, the horn,
like the water vortex, is finely laminated,

experiment by blowing a small bubble in the centre
of his tetrahedral system, so we have a central bub-
ble also here.
This bubble may be of any size; but its situation (if
it be present at all) is always the same, and its shape
is always such as to give the Maraldi angles at its own
four corners. The tension of its own walls, and those
of the films by which it is supported or slung, all bal-
ance one another. Hence the bubble appears in plane
projection as a curvilinear equilateral triangle; and we
have only got to convert this plane diagram into the
corresponding solid to obtain the spherical tetrahed-
ron we have been seeking to explain (Fig. 63).

The geometry of the little inner tetrahedron is not less simple

and elegant. Its six edges and four faces are all equal. The films
attaching it to the outer skeleton are all planes. Its faces are spherical,

by a madness, and then we have another world war or devastating rev-
olution. Instead of being exposed to wild beasts, tumbling rocks, and
inundating waters, man is exposed today to the elemental forces of his
own psyche. Psychic life is a world-power that exceeds by many times
all the powers of the earth. The Enlightenment, which stripped nature
and human institutions of gods, overlooked the one god of fear who
dwells in the psyche. Fear of God is in place, if anywhere, before the
domination power of psychic life. ‘ ‘

No doubt it is a great nuisance that mankind is not uniform

‘but compounded of individuals whose psychic structure
spreads them over a span of at least ten thousand years. Hence
there is absolutely no truth that does not spell salvation to one
person and damnation to another. All universalisms get stuck in
this terrible dilemma.

This speeding up of sexual maturation relative to the development
of the rest of the body—or,to put it differently, the gradual retard-
ation of bodily development beyond the age of sexual maturation—
is a familiar evolutionary phenomenon, known as neoteny. Its
result is that the animal begins to breed while still displaying larval
or juvenile features; and it frequently happens that the fully adult
stage is never reached—it is dropped off the life cycle.

This tendency towards a ‘prolonged childhood’, with the correspond-

ing squeezing.out of the final adult stages, amounts to a rejuvenation
ARTHUR and de-specialization of the race—an @scape from the cul-de-sac in the
evolutionary maze. As J.Z. Young wrote, adopting Garstang’s views:

KOESTLER ‘The problem which remains is in fact not ‘“how have vertebrates been
formed from sea squifts?”’, but ‘how have vertebrates eliminated the protozoa
(adult) sea squirt stage from their life history? It is wholly reasonable
to consider that this has been accomplished py paedomorphosis.’.. . .

Neoteny in itself ts of course not enough to produce these evolution- (after Garstang); see text

provides the opportunity for evolutionary changes to Operate on the
early, mallaable phases of ontogeny: hance paedomorphosis, ‘the But Garstang’s diagram could also represent a fundamental aspect of

The Japanese House

Without getting all sentimental end exetic

we're still going to agree that Japanese make
better houses than anybody else (they also
have the fastest growing economy in the world,\
but that’s another story — or is it?). If you’re
going to build your own house and don’t mind
some inspiration on the subject, this book was
laboriously made for you. It’s a great big
Christmas present of a book full of yummy
photos and diagrams and details of technique,
all of which seems right within reach: I-can-
do-it. Nice cure for nothing-can-be-done-be-
cause-it’s-too-damned-big industrial blues.

SECLUSION IN BUILDING is an essential instrument

for establishing, or preserving, the freedom of man.
For, only in solitude can man escape from the coer-
cion to which he is subjected when among the masses.

Once the room requirement is decided, the separate

rooms are sometimes cut out in paper and children
and parents individually try to achieve the best room
arrangement on the ken grid. One mat arrangement
is finally decided upon and wall openings, picture re-
cesses (tokonoma), closets, etc., are listed. No meas-
urements are given. Everything is controlled merely
by the ken grid and the mat arrangement.

Tipis are cheap and portable. To live in one

Structure, Form and Movement

The usual procedure is that R&D comes up

with a new process, it’s implemented for
several years, and then some biologist says
Hey did you know porpoises did that? (or
snakes did that, or bees or elm seeds). And
everybody says My, my, ain’t Nature smart.
Herr Hertel and colleagues is trying to reverse
the order, learn from nature first, save time
and stay humble. (This approach now has a
name, “bionics”’; a book by that title that’s
around is terrible.)
This book may be too expensive for its direct
usefulness, but it thoroughly displays the
approach that research may take to bugs, birds, Golden eagle. Leaping off. Legs flexed at left, extended at right

Creative Glass Blowing

This well-illustrated and carefully written book

begins with the statement “Any one can learn
to blow glass.” To a large extent, the authors,
one of whom is a professional glass blower,
succeed in making that statement believable.
However, the first 50 pages are concerned
with the tools of the glass blower and | found
myself wondering, “Yes, but can anyone
learn to be a pipe-fitter, metal worker,
carpenter, and electrician?” If you can au
those things, there is little doubt that this
book {and several hundred dollars worth of
tools and related supplies) will enable you to
blow glass—probably creatively.
Don’t expect to take up glass blowing casually,
with just this book, but if it is a hobby to
which you can commit yourself seriously this Creative Glass Blowing
book would be an excellent investment, for James E. Hammesfahr, Clair L. Stong

But how can a natural satellite have such a low density? The material
of which it is made must have a certain amount of rigidity, so that
cohesive forces will be stronger than the gravitational tidal forces of
Mars, which will tend to disrupt the satellite. Such rigidity would
ordinarily exclude densities below about 0.1 gm ec Thus, only
one possibility remains. Could Phobos be indeed rigid, on the outside—
THE but hollow in the inside? A natural satellite cannot be a hollow object.

Deimos as well—may be artificial satellites of Mars.

When the nuts hissed and popped somewhat like
popcorn, she knew they were cooked. This first
roasting leaves the meat soft and translucent.

To play the game, two people on one side each concealed a

pair of sticks or “bones” within their closed fists. One bone
of each pair was plain, the other ornamented. The guesser on
the opposing team had to choose in which hands the unorna-
mented sticks were hidden. If the guess were correct, his side
was awarded a tally stick. If not, his side lost a stick, The side
winning all ten tally sticks claimed all the bets. The singers
opposing the guesser shouted, waved, and beat the logs to
confuse him, but he sat quietly, apparently oblivious to the
distractions, concentrating on his choice. It is remarkable how
often a good guesser won. Winners were never congratulated,
nor were losers ever consoled. The game is still played in the
Great Basin with stakes often running into hundreds of dollars.

Rabbits are unfit to eat in late summer, as their backs are then infested

Green Corn.— If you happen to camp near a farm in the ‘’Roasting-
ear’’ season, you are in great luck. The quickest way to roast an ear
of corn is to cut off the butt of the ear closely, so that the pith of
the cob is exposed, ream it out a little, impale the cob lengthwise on the
the end of a long hardwood stick, and turn over the coals.
Skilligalee.— The best thing in a fixed camp is the stock-pot. A large
covered pot or enameled pail is reserved for this and nothing else.
Into it go all the fag-ends of game — heads, tails, wings, feet, giblets,
large bones — also the left-overs of fish, flesh and fowl, of any and all
sots of vegtables, rice, or other cereals, macaroni, stale bread, every-
thing edible except fat. This pot is always kept hot. Its flavors are
forever changing, but ever welcome. It is always ready, day or night,
for the hungry varlet who missed connections or who wants a bite
between meals. No cook who values his peace of mind will fail to
have a skilly simmering at all hours.

relationships even though he recognizes no
mathematical symbols. (Children are capable
of grasping mathematical concepts before they
have the mechanical ability to write. Therein
lies one of the great advantages of Cuisenaire
rods.) For example, if a child puts the first
(white)
irises and the second (red) rods end to end
he can see that together they are equal in
length to the third (green) rod. Once he real-
izes that a white and a red always equal a green,
he has learned something quite general about
addition and equality. If, later, the numeral
“1’ is associated with the first rod, ‘2’ with
the second rod and ‘3’ with the third, he will
be ina position to grasp at once that 1+ 2= 3.
But the rods have no absolute numerical value
so that if the value ‘1’ were assigned to the
third rod rather than the first, the truth

The Whole Earth Catalog is one division of PORTOLA INSTITUTE, INC.

Other present activities of the Institute include '

Computer education for all grade levels

Simulation games for classroom use
New approaches in music education
Ortage Park Teachers Laboratory

PORTOLA INSTITUTE was established in 1966 as a nonprofit corporation ee

to encourage, organize, and conduct innovative educational projects. The . ee
Institute relies for support on private foundations and public agencies, to whom i ae
specific project proposals are submitted. ;

Because Portola Institute is a private organization with no need to produce

profits or guarantee “success”, it can experiment with new and unusual
educational projects that would be difficult to administer within more
structured organizations. For this reason the staff and facilities of the
Institute are deliberately kept small and flexible.

Within its framework a wide variety of projects dealing with innovative

education can be created as people with ideas are able to interest people
with funds. New projects are always being considered, both within the
existing divisions and programs, and within as yet unexplored realms of the
learning experience.
