A comprehensive look at the life and continuing influence of
16th-century scientific genius and occultist Dr. John Dee Dr. John
Dee (1527-1608), Queen Elizabeth I's court advisor and astrologer,
was the foremost scientific genius of the 16th century. Laying the
foundation for modern science, he actively promoted mathematics and
astronomy as well as made advances in navigation and optics that
helped elevate England to the foremost imperial power in the world.
Centuries ahead of his time, his theoretical work included the
concept of light speed and prototypes for telescopes and solar
panels. Dee, the original "007" (his crown-given moniker), even
invented the idea of a "British Empire," envisioning fledgling
America as the new Atlantis, himself as Merlin, and Elizabeth as
Arthur. Presenting a comprehensive overview of Dee's life and work,
Louv examines his scientific achievements, intelligence and spy
work, imperial strategizing, and Enochian magick, establishing a
psychohistory of John Dee as a singular force and fundamental
driver of Western history. Exploring Dee's influence on Sir Francis
Bacon, the development of modern science, 17th-century
Rosicrucianism, the 19th-century occult revival, and 20th-century
occultists such as Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and Anton LaVey,
Louv shows how John Dee continues to impact science and the occult
to this day.

Monsanto-one of the largest agriculture and biotech companies in
the world-creates genetically engineered seeds and food, or GMOs.
They've also brought us toxic chemicals like DDT, PCBs andeven
Agent Orange. But what is Monsanto truly doing to our diet-and why
do many consider their business practices deeply abusive? Are GMOs
the solution to world hunger, or a shockingly dangerous threat to
ourhealth? And does Monsanto really, as some suggest, control much
of the United States' agriculture and food departments?
Meticulously researched, "Monsanto vs. the World" puts to rest the
myths and shows the shocking reality, delving into the science of
GMOs, the political machinations of Monsanto in Washington and
around the world, and showing what you can do to keep GMOs off your
plate for good.
New York has some strange neighborhoods. There's the Upper West
Side, the Lower East Side and... the Other Side. That's where the
Sidhe live-a race of mythological creatures that have dwelled just
under mankind's nose for millennia, created and kept alive by the
dream energy of humans. There's good ones (Seelie) and bad ones
(Unseelie), and they get along fine just as long as they stay
hidden from mankind. It's a peaceful situation that has lasted
since the days of the foundation of America. That peaceful
situation is about to be broken. When a young designer stumbles
into the Other Side, she becomes implicated in a secret war to
merge the human and Sidhe worlds... and falls in love with a
Changeling cop who seems to be everything she wants in a man. If
the warring worlds let them be together, that is. "Like Alice in
Wonderland if Lewis Carroll had overdosed on the opposite of
Prozac. A twisted, dark, comical take on the origins of our hopes,
dreams and nightmares." - Marty Beckerman, author of The Heming Way
"A producer and director of text... a bloody f***ing genius." -
Howard Bloom, author of The Lucifer Principle
