Scope and Contents:
This subseries includes newsletters, magazines, and books published by the East West Foundation. the earliest publication is the Order of the Universe magazine which presented themes of special interest to the macrobiotic community through materials gathered primarily from the lectures and seminars of Michio Kushi. The Order of the Universe transferred its operation from the East West Foundation to the Kushi Institute in January 1979. The East West Journal was established in 1971 as a natural foods and natural living monthly magazine. Topics were not limited to macrobiotics. It covered a variety of New Age topics and became the center of one of the first New Age networks. It also provided contacts for people interested in eastern philosophies. Other materials include books and brochures ranging in topic from dietary recommendations to controlling cancer through the macrobiotic lifestyle. Materials are arranged in chronological order.
