RADICAL TECHNOLOGY.

London: Wildwood House Ltd., 1976. First edition. 4to. Wrps., 304pp. Illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams and drawings, including a series of six Visions drawings by anarchist/artist Cliff Harper (who started a commune in a farmhouse in Cumbria in 1967 and helped establish the Eel Pie Island commune on the River Thames in 1969). Designed by Roger Hall. Edited by Peter Harper, Godfrey Boyle and the editors of Undercurrents: The journal of radical science and people’s technology.

"Radical Technology is a contribution to the wider dialogue on alternative politics, economics, work-patterns and life-styles, all the more urgent in a deepening global crisis of resource supply and ecological stability." Includes a section on temporary and mobile shelters at the Windsor Free Festival, an interview with Peter van Dresser (see item #123), and an interview with Street Farm (see items #115 & #116) by Godfrey Boyle, who founded Undercurrents magazine, the philosophy of which the book was intended to encapsulate.

Newsprint paper slightly age-toned, o/w a tight, Near Fine copy of a book subsequently translated into German and Japanese and since regarded as a groundbreaking work in its field.
