Planet Drum Bundle #2, 1974 – So on to the Fourth World, by Raymond Dasmann. A poetic critique of “world” environment groups from a planetary perspective. He develops the idea of a “Fourth world,” an “ecologically oriented world” which is “responsive to man-in-nature contrasted with man-against-nature.” On the reverse is a drawing by Martin Carey titled Vision–Mountain Man II.  9.5”x12.” Digital image courtesy Lincoln Cushing / Docs Populi

Cover Sheet of the North Pacific Rim Alive Bundle which contains an explanation of the concept underlying the bundle publications: “PLANET/DRUM is an instrument passed from hand to hand rather than a bandstand. A shared instrument from compass points to the circle that encloses us all.” It summarizes & describes the first three bundles: Bundle #1 “the first beat”; Bundle #2 “relayed the first replies.” and North Pacific Rim Alive “the first PLANET/DRUM with all its messages rooted in a single distinct geo-biotic region”, and describes PLANET/DRUM as “a network of correspondents. Fisher-folk in Alaska and Maine, communes in North America and Europe, Japanese natural scientists, urban planetarians, African game preserve managers, Russian poets and ethnographers, American Indian medicine people  It is sent to anyone who asks for it.” 8.5”x11”
