Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold
War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to
counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing
that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly
developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the
CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write
two manuals on sleight of hand and covert communication
techniques.
In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were
destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among
them--until a single surviving copy of each, complete with
illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's
archives.
The manuals reprinted in this work represent the only known
complete copy of Mulholland's instructions for CIA officers on the
magician's art of deception and secret communications.

An unprecedented history of the CIA's secret and amazing gadgetry
behind the art of espionage In this look at the CIA's most
secretive operations and the devices that made them possible,
Spycraft tells gripping life-and-death stories about a group of
spytechs-much of it never previously revealed and with images never
before seen by the public. The CIA's Office of Technical Service is
the ultrasecret department that grappled with challenges such as:
What does it take to build a quiet helicopter? How does one embed a
listening device in a cat? What is an invisible photo used for?
These amazingly inventive devices were created and employed against
a backdrop of geopolitical tensions-including the Cold War, the
Cuban Missile Crisis, and continuing terrorist threats. Written by
Robert Wallace, the former director of the Office of Technical
Service, and internationally renowned intelligence historian Keith
Melton, Spycraft is both a fantastic encyclopedia of gadgetry and a
revealing primer on the fundamentals of high-tech espionage. "The
first comprehensive look at the technical achievements of American
espionage from the 1940s to the present."-Wired "Reveals more
concrete information about CIA tradecraft than any book."-The
Washington Times "This is a story I thought could never be
told."-JAMES M. OLSON, former chief of CIA counterintelligence
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
