John Mitchell has been called both a genius and a madman in reviews of his earlier books The View Over Atlantis and The Flying Saucer Vision, both of which have become underground bestsellers in Britain and America. This new book, City of Revelation, will be even more controversial, for it presents evidence for the view that earlier civilizations understood better than our own the natural laws controlling seasons, human behavior, and the most subtle relationships between the whole of the universe and its parts. These relationships, says Michell, are analogues of harmonic relationships in music and of the elegant geometry of the ancients. They are preserved, as he demonstrates, in the forms of the great temples of man-the cathedral at chartres, Stonehenge, St. Mary's Chapel at Glastonbury, the Great Pyramid, the Temple in Jerusalem, and others. This proposition will no doubt be attacked by more conventional representatives of archeology and anthropology. The reader will judge for himself if he accepts Mr. Mitchell's invitation to study the evidence put forward and the clues to the constitution of the cosmic canon.

Traveler's Key To Sacred England

KNOPF

Takes us into the bizarre and often humorous lives of such people as Lady Blount, who was sure that the earth is flat, Cyrus Teed, who believed that the earth is a hollow shell with us in the inside; Edward Hine, who believed that the British are the lost Tribes of Israel; and Baron de Guldenstubbe, who was sure that statues wrote him letters. British writer and housewife Nesta Webster devoted her life to exposing international conspiracies, and Father O'Callaghan devoted his to opposing interest on loans. The extraordinary characters in this book were and in some cases still are wholehearted enthusiasts for the various causes and outrageous notions they adopted, and John Michell describes their adventures with spirit and compassion.

the twelve tribes of Israel are the most famous example of a phenomenon found throughout the world. Many traditions describe a former ideal social order in which nations were divided into twelve tribes each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Examples of such societies are to be found from Iceland to Madascar from Europe through the ancient East to America. This book describes some of these civilizations and the role that this configuration was believed to play in harmonizing human activity with the forces of the cosmos.
