A Waaaaa and an Appeal to the Overmind

[drasecretcampus]

If you have a set of work keys and a set of home keys, make sure you take the former when going to your office. (I have spare house keys on my work keys, but the home keys set are fewer in number).

An appeal

I'm trying to get together a list of the Prozac Nation and Tipping Point type volumes from the seventies - yanno, the unexpected nonfiction bestsellers. ETA: The Zeitgeist surfers for the 1970s. A short list would include

• Susan Brownmiller, Against Our Will [Corrected - thanks oursin]
  
• Boston Women's Health Book Collective, Our Bodies, Ourselves [Corrected - thanks oursin]
  
• Lyall Watson, Supernature etc
  
• E.F. Schumacher, Small Is Beautiful
  
• James Lovelock, Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth
  
• Alvin Toffler, Future Shock
  
• John Berger, Ways of Seeing
  

I'll add to this list as things occur to me - but I'm sure there's more. (Race and ethnicity? Civil Rights?)
