Описание: Rather than focusing on complexity as often discussed in physics or computer science, this book examines more `human` or socially oriented perspectives on complexity, taking account of the language and communication singularities of human agents in society.

Описание: "Adam Parfrey is one of the nation's most provocative publishers."--Seattle Weekly "Secret society historian Craig Heimbichner follows the Middle Path to wisdom. He works the graveyard shift in the secret lodge."--Joan d'Arc, Paranoia magazine Secret societies--now a staple of bestseller novels--are pictured as sinister cults that use hooded albinos to menace truth-seekers. Some conspiracy books claim that fraternal orders are the work of serpentine aliens and interbred humans who wish to supplant earth of its energy, and later, its very existence. On the other side of the aisle, books by high-ranked Freemasons--skeptical in tone but no less partisan in approach--protect their organization's public image by denying the existence of its most contentious ideas. Ritual America reveals the biggest secret of them all: that the influence of fraternal brotherhoods on this country is vast, fundamental, and hidden in plain view. In the early twentieth century, as many as one-third of America belonged to a secret society. And though fezzes and tiny car parades are almost a thing of the past, the Gnostic beliefs of Masonic orders are now so much a part of the American mind that the surrounding pomp and circumstance has become faintly unnecessary. The authors of Ritual America contextualize hundreds of rare and many never-before printed images with entertaining and far-reaching commentary, making an esoteric subject provocative, exciting, and approachable. This new expanded edition includes an examination of fraternal orders influence on corporate media, higher education and the occult.
