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
