Whole Earth Closes Its Doors

WorldChanging is reporting that Whole Earth Review has gone belly up. From where I sit, I can look at a complete collection lined up on my bookshelf — I have been a subscriber since issue #1 nearly three decades ago. My first reaction was to be devastated but, in truth, it has been a shadow of its inspiring self in recent issues and its role supplanted by other (mostly web-based) resources. Its last in a series of invaluable lessons to readers like me, perhaps, is challenging us to let go of it gracefully as it passes like all things do.
