Secrets in the Fields by Freddy Silva -Crop Circles

dizzydayz Store From Library JournalSilva, who has worked in graphic design and advertising for most of hisprofessional life, conveys his keen passion for earth mysticism in thisprobing examination of crop circles. He examines the history of cropcircles, human interactions with them, their probable implications,and, in a section that is alone worth the price of the books forsupporters, their effects on our current worldview. Silva also delvesdeeply into the evidence for crop circles' authenticity. In arguingthat they are transhuman events, he discusses the role ofelectromagnetism and its effects, UFO phenomena and their relation tocrop circles, the relationship between crop circles and healing,evidence supporting psychic ability, and language's ability to affectinformation consciously and subconsciously (this section is sure tostimulate those who suspect that crop circles are a hoax). Readers maybe inspired to reexamine preconceived ideas, as Silva's explanationsare detailed and well researched and avoid technical jargon. Footnotesand an extensive bibliography encourage further exploration.Recommended for psychic phenomena or metaphysical and New Agecollections in public libraries, and for collections includingcontemporary works on controversies in science and mysticism.Leroy Hommerding, Fort Myers Beach Lib.
