Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World by Mark Frauenfelder

4.0

Mark Frauendfelder and his colleagues at Make get lots of credit for encouraging a new generation to use their hands for something other than Angry Birds and Nintendo, though perhaps not as much credit as they take. It's the contemporary version of the Whole Earth Catalog, encouraging people to compost, raise chickens, make music, and perhaps home-school their kids.

The author's ambitions often get carried away, but that just makes for a better story, and he's humble enough to admit when he just can't pull something off. Entertaining and perhaps useful.
