Once the world's most famous astrologer, Evangeline Adams popularized astrology in the U. S. Foreseeing the Future chronicles Adams' life and forecasts, and also illuminates the history of astrology and the occult in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Karen Christino's one-of-a-kind biography tells the astounding tale of a woman who defied convention and made a lasting impression on American culture. Adams wrote four books and had a top-rated radio show in the early 1930s. She battled legal authorities in New York City for the right to practice astrology, married a man over 20 years her junior, founded a tremendous business enterprise and made stunning predictions. J.P. Morgan, Tallulah Bankhead and Joseph Campbell were just a few of her renowned clients. This book will fascinate anyone interested in cultural history, women's studies or astrology-skeptic and believer, expert and novice alike."Everyone in astrology will adore this book, written grippingly and beautifully by Karen Christino... One can not put it down, nor ever forget it!" - Noel Tyl"A must read for anyone interested in the history of astrology in the U.S." - Robert Zoller"Whether Adams was indeed a great astrologer or simply an opportunistic charlatan is a judgment best left to the reader, who will undoubtedly be absorbed by Ms. Christino's affectionate yet balanced account. - Judi Vitale, The Mountain Astrologer"... a major contribution to the history of astrology. If you want to know the truth, both factual and astrological, behind the legend of Evangeline Adams, read this book." - Ken Irving, American Astrology MagazineA consulting astrologer in New York City for over 20 years, Karen Christino's books include three on Evangeline Adams (a biography, astro-biography and a mystery novel) and editing the work of Al H. Morrison. She has also written about wedding astrology and declinations, and wrote horoscope columns for Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Modern Bride magazines, among many others.

Tells the story of the infamous “Goat Gland Doctor”—controversial medical charlatan, groundbreaking radio impresario, and prescient political campaigner—and recounts his amazing rags to riches to rags career. A popular joke of the 1920s posed the question, “What’s the fastest thing on four legs?” The punch line? “A goat passing Dr. Brinkley’s hospital!” It seems that John R. Brinkley’s virility rejuvenation cure—transplanting goat gonads into aging men—had taken the nation by storm. Never mind that “Doc” Brinkley’s medical credentials were shaky at best and that he prescribed medication over the airwaves via his high-power radio stations. The man built an empire. The Kansas Medical Board combined with the Federal Radio Commission to revoke Brinkley’s medical and radio licenses, which various courts upheld. Not to be stopped, Brinkley started a write-in campaign for Governor. He received more votes than any other candidate but lost due to invalidated and “misplaced” ballots. Brinkley’s tactics, particularly the use of his radio station and personal airplane, changed political campaigning forever. Brinkley then moved his radio medical practice to Del Rio, Texas, and began operating a “border blaster” on the Mexico side of the Rio Grande. His rogue stations, XER and its successor XERA, eventually broadcast at an antenna-shattering 1,000,000 watts and were not only a haven for Brinkley’s lucrative quackery, but also hosted an unprecedented number of then-unknown country musicians and other guests.

This book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology's relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either 'marginal' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.
