"One day, a bunch of alternative media people were searching for ways to co-operate. We decided to combine our mailing lists and our efforts to produce a booklet telling you about some of the sources of information offered by alternative organizations. We had to limit ourselves to the fourteen groups you'll find inside .... if enough others show interest, we may do a second catalog in the spring. The alternative culture is getting it together! Plug in to the movement! Read this rag!"--Cover.

"From 2006 through 2010, I traveled throughout the southeastern United States befriending, photographing, and interviewing a network of people who left cities and suburbs to live off the grid. Motivated by environmental concerns, religious beliefs, or predictions of economic collapse, they build their homes from local materials, obtain their water from nearby springs, and hunt, gather, or grow their own food. All the people in my photographs are working to maintain a self-sufficient lifestyle, but no one I found lives in complete isolation from the mainstream. Many have websites that they update using laptop computers, and cell phones that they charge on car batteries or solar panels. They do not wholly reject the modern world. Instead, they step away from it and choose the parts that they want to bring with them"--From author's introduction.

"The basic principle of the Single Tax is that all men are equally entitled to the use of the earth, and the Single Tax as proposed by Henry George, is the method of securing that right by placing a "single tax" on the land values created by the community. If the land has no value, there are no taxes. The Fairhope, Alabama Single Tax Colony pioneers, few in number and feeble in purse, were imbued with the idea that the most potent educational force they could use in demonstrating the Single Tax theory would be to present an example, set a precedent. This they have been doing for four score years!"--Page 32.
