The story takes off as most stories do. I met a girl. She was gorgeous, smart and funny. I didn't think I deserved her. I did what any rational guy would do when put in that situation. I turned to a life of crime. How bad can selling drugs be? It was only pot, which is hardly considered a drug anymore. To some people, its the curer of all things evil, like cancer and taxes.

A small group of men and women meet in wartime to journey on a path that crosses time and space boundaries. John Devine, a writer of ghost stories gets employed by a government department run by the mysterious Colonel Draft who specialises in watching subversives. Both unwittingly become joined to an ancient order going back to Elizabethan times whose initiates include those at the very top of power. But it seems the order has a German branch, not to mention an American one, whose interests interweave across the next two centuries with an incredible synchronicity. Nazi plots to use occult secrets to win the war are just the beginning of a web that seem to have been previously spun by sinister forces that reach into the present day.

This book defines and discusses the term “hidden geographies” in two ways: systematically and by presenting a variety of examples of the research fields and topics concerning hidden geographies, with the aim of stimulating further basic and applied research in this area. While the term is quite rarely used in the scientific literature (more often as a figure of speech than to illustrate or problematize its deeper meaning), we argue that hidden geographies are everywhere and many of them have significant impacts on (other) natural and social phenomena and processes, subsequently triggering changes, for example in landscape, economy, culture, health or quality of life. The introductory sec...

Based on refractions of earlier beliefs, modern angels - at once terrible and comforting, frighteningly other and reassuringly beneficent - have acquired a powerful symbolic value. This interdisciplinary study looks at how humans conversed with angels in medieval and early modern Europe, and how they explained and represented these conversations.
