    Virtual reality (VR) has long been a concept of science fiction, but today, it is a rapidly evolving technology shaping industries, entertainment, and even human interactions. From its early beginnings as a theoretical concept to the sophisticated headsets and immersive environments of today, VR has transformed from a novelty into a powerful tool that influences the way people work, learn, and socialize. While the promise of virtual worlds seems limitless, there are also significant concerns about its long-term effects on society, privacy, and even human psychology.  
    The origins of VR date back further than most people realize. The idea of creating artificial environments that simulate reality can be traced back to the early 20th century. Flight simulators in the 1920s provided the first taste of what would later become VR training programs. In the 1960s, innovators such as Ivan Sutherland and Morton Heilig developed early prototypes of head-mounted displays and immersive cinema experiences. However, technological limitations prevented these early experiments from reaching mainstream adoption. It wasn’t until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that computing power, graphics capabilities, and internet connectivity made VR a viable and widely accessible technology.  
    Breakthroughs in VR hardware and software have enabled increasingly realistic and engaging experiences. High-resolution headsets, motion tracking, and artificial intelligence now allow users to step into digital environments that respond dynamically to their movements and actions. Industries ranging from gaming and entertainment to healthcare and education have embraced VR as a revolutionary tool. Doctors use VR to simulate surgeries, businesses conduct remote meetings in virtual spaces, and educators transport students to historical landmarks without ever leaving the classroom.

    “Lore of the Watcher angels is an important and often overlooked part of Jewish and Christian traditions that exerts a strong influence on Western magic and occultism. Harold Roth tackles complicated texts like the books of Enoch and Jubilees alongside traditions like Merkavah mysticism and Christian demonology and, in plain language, gives the clearest and best examination of the Watchers and the Nephilim that I have come across yet.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other books   The Book of Enoch has captured and commanded interest for the past two thousand years. Sometimes part of religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the Book of Enoch is more popular today than ever. Still many questions remain. Who was Enoch? Who—or what—were the Watchers, and what knowledge did they bring? What became of their wives and their children, the rapacious half-man, half-angel giants, the Nephilim?   From Renaissance magic of Dr. John Dee and early Christian apocalyptic texts, to contemporary conspiracy theories and modern magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the various approaches to the Book of Enoch are any real attempts to find not only what is at the center of these stories but also their connections to magic. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch identifies and elucidates those connections.

    Misogynies is one of the most celebrated feminist texts by a British author. First published in 1989, it created shock waves with its analyses of history, literature and popular culture. Joan Smith drew on her own experience as one of the few women reporting the Yorkshire Ripper murders and looked at novels, slasher movies, Page Three and Princess Diana, teasing out the attitudes that brought them together. A feminist classic, Smith's exploration of fear and hatred of women resonates to this day.

    "...every chapter of Winning French Minds delivered something new, not only because French language radio being a less-frequented area of study, but also due to the author's ability to tie these radio efforts to events surrounding the French people and events unfolding on the European geopolitical stage." — World War II DatabaseWorld War II was very much a war of the radios. A relatively new technology, radio as a tool was exploited by all of the participants of the war to win the hearts and minds of the people and to steer public opinion.  The period 1940 to 1942 was the most volatile of the war, with the Nazis capturing large parts of western Europe and dominating on the Eastern front. At this time France was separated into two nominally independent zones, and public opinion could easily have been swayed in favor of the New German Order. This could have had potentially disastrous consequences for any future Allied attempt to liberate Europe, and so the battle for French minds was launched using the new technology of radio.  This narrative of that campaign develops chronologically through a series of topics including major military incidents, youth, food, family, psychological warfare, sports and work, as presented by different radio stations – in particular Radiodiffusion, controlled by Vichy France; Radio Paris, controlled by the Nazis; and the BBC – offering a systematic comparative analysis of radio propaganda messages and building a vivid picture of the evolution of broadcasts in the context of the complex political and social impact of the war on the French population.  Using original primary sources from archives in Britain and France, broadcast recordings, radio magazines, and interviews conducted by British Intelligence with those arriving from France during the war, this is a fascinating and unique insight into wartime radio propaganda from 1940 to 1942.
