When the Templars were disbanded by papal order in 1307, their fleet disappeared from its base at La Rochelle. The author maintains that a portion of the fleet became the first pirates to fly the Skull and Crossbones - marauding through the Mediterranean, and later preying on the ships of the Vatican coming from the rich ports of the Americas as the Pirates of the Caribbean. Another portion of the fleet fled to the deep fiords of Scotland and came under the command of the St Clair family of Rosslyn - the founders of freemasonry. These Templars made a voyage to Canada in the year 1398, nearly 100 years before Columbus.

With a rich cultural history and Hollywood stars publicly attesting to a wide range of faiths, it's no surprise that California's spiritual landscape is as diverse as its natural surroundings. The Visionary State weaves text and image into a compelling narrative of religion, architecture, and consciousness in California, from neopaganism to televangelism, UFO cults to austere Zen Buddhism. Acclaimed culture critic Erik Davis brings together the immigrant and homegrown religious influences that have been part of the region's character from its earliest days, drawing connections between seemingly unlike traditions and celebrating the diversity of California's spiritual composition. Michael Rauner's evocative photographs depict the sites and structures where these traditions have taken root and flourished. The Visionary State is a landmark look at what is likely the most varied locale for religious activity anywhere.

In the Indian Vedic system of planetary worship of the nine major planets – the Navagrahas – most important are Saturn (Shani), Mars (Mangal) and Jupiter (Guru). The planets’ periodical celestial transitions affect human lives. Of these three planets, the first two are considered extremely malevolent. This fascinating adventure story handles the two planets in rather extreme ways: Mars for its futuristic space technology ventures, and Saturn as described in Hindu/Mayan mythological scriptures. Seven idols from the Navagraha square-shaped constellation of the famous Thiruvalla Temple have been missing for almost 2,000 years. The Temple priests seek the help of Harani and Manikkam (the two tech-savvy teenagers from the Payyoli Trilogy series) to find them. The duo is also involved with the SpaceX project for human colonization of Mars. Two scientists from SpaceX on their visit to India mysteriously vanish in their helicopter while exploring the effects of Saturn at the temple of Thirunallar. How the search for the missing Hindu idols leads Harani and Manikkam to the Yucatan caves where the two missing SpaceX scientists are held captive offering prayers to the missing idols, forms the gripping finale of the novel

In the history of the early twentieth-century Americas, visions of hemispheric unity flourished, and the notion of a transnational American identity was embraced by artists, intellectuals, and government institutions. In The Pan American Imagination, Stephen Park explores the work of several Pan American modernists who challenged the body of knowledge being produced about Latin America, crossing the disciplinary boundaries of academia as well as the formal boundaries of artistic expression—from literary texts and travel writing to photography, painting, and dance. Park invests in an interdisciplinary approach, which he frames as a politically resistant intellectual practice, using it not only to examine the historical phenomenon of Pan Americanism but also to explore the implications for current transnational scholarship.
