Mark Pilkington charts some of the more curious byways, scenic detours, and inspired failures of scientists, inventors, and, yes, crackpots, over the past few hundred years.

From the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis to zero-point energy, via the Hieronymous Machine and Phlogiston, Far Out tells the stories that are all too often ignored, lost, or simply forgotten by conventional science books. Some of them are perhaps best left languishing in the margins of history, but others may yet change our future. Entries cover physics, chemistry, biology, archaeology, parapsychology, psychology, and other areas yet to be inducted into mainstream science, including radionics, keranography, erotoxin, and remote viewing.

Written in a succinct and engaging style, each piece provides a useful, self-contained introduction to its topic, and provides enough information to allow readers to discover more if they so desire.

Far Out is the latest in the unique CD-sized book format from Disinformation, following the best-selling 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know series by Russ Kick. Once again, the book is printed in two colors, with the entries arranged into sections, many with appropriate illustrations, diagrams, or photographs.

Mark Pilkington is a freelance journalist, writer, and editor. As well as writing the "Far Out" column for the Guardian on which this book is based, he has also written for The London Times, Fortean Times, Arthur, and The Wire, among others. He also edits the highly praised anthology of cultural marginalia, Strange Attractor, and runs Strange Attractor Press.

Where Have All the Hippies Gone? by Sam Yulish, is like no other book you've read lately. It has that old exuberance and wealth of emotion that make it, if nothing else, a chronicle of wondering and journeying, of knowing and finding out. Each interview builds on the next the way the tie-dyed few built upon each other's singular experience until the handful were a nation. This book, rough and generous, is true to the sleeping spirit of the freak. In the words of the Jefferson Airplane: Feed Your Head. -Roy Bentley, published poet and author Where Have All the Hippies Gone? is by far the most enjoyable book about the hippies and their sixties adventures I have ever read. What fun! And great period drawings. The music trivia quiz is a real challenge. -Patricia Dennison, author and pharmacist In his unique work "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" retired math professor and published writer and poet Sam Yulish attempts to show how the hippies have changed since the late sixties and early seventies. In his fictional characters he has created memorable portraits of people who lived through it. Throughout "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a nostalgia for a past era that lasted for only 5 or 6 years. Despite its brevity, the era had a great effect on each character's life and is still prominent in day-to-day thinking. But far from being just a nostalgia look back at the sixties, "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a unique book that deals with ideas. Most of the book is devoted to interviews with past and present hippies. This is a brilliant format which gives access to the opinions and the attitudes of the characters. "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" is a fascinating, unique book. It is a page-turner that can be read in a couple of hours. It is fun, historical, and mind-bending. -David Bruce, Athens News.

Remember the good old days of the 1990s? The go-go economy was unstoppable Unemployment hit historic lows. And hotshot dot.commers hopped jobs like those Sex and the City women hop beds. "Old Economy" bosses courted tech-savvy employees with stock options, casual dress codes, and free office soda. Nothing was gonna burst this bubble... Oh, how times have changed. Forget about cashing in those stock options - in these days of bankruptcies and bail-outs, rampant right-sizing, and corporate scandals, the average worker is likely to toil all day with crossed legs rather than run the risk of being reprimanded for taking an occasionaly bathroom break.

With its dynamic combination of important position papers, polemics, and decolonizing critiques by noted authors and of analysis by new and established post-colonial scholars, this volume exposes "the maze and mix of literatures and cultural identities breaking down and building up across the Pacific Ocean." This pioneering work will be the definitive resource for anyone researching or teaching Pacific literature and will be invaluable for bringing Pacific culture to readers outside the region..
