Product Description

Where did "modern" civilization begin? What lies beneath the waves? Do myths describe interstellar impact? How'd they lift that stone? Was the Ark of the Covenant a mechanical device? Were there survivors of an Atlantean catastrophe? Who really discovered the "New" World?

"Hidden history" continues to fascinate an ever wider audience. In this massive compendium, editor Preston Peet brings together an all-star cast of contributors to question established wisdom about the history of the world and its civilizations. Peet and anthology contributors guide us through exciting archeological adventures and treasure hunts, ancient mysteries, lost or rediscovered technologies, and assorted "Forteana," using serious scientific studies and reports, scholarly research, and some plain old fringe material, as what is considered "fringe" today is often hard science tomorrow.

Contributors include: Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods, Underworld), David Hatcher Childress (Lost Cities and Civilizations series), Colin Wilson (From Atlantis to the Sphinx), Michael Cremo (Forbidden Archeology), William Corliss (Ancient Infrastructures), Robert Schoch (Voyages of the Pyramid Builders), John Anthony West (Serpent in the Sky), Michael Arbuthnot (Team Atlantis), Erich Von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods), and many more.

The editor of Under The Influence: The Disinformation Guide to Drugs, Preston Peet is a writer, editor, photographer, musician, actor, DJ, activist, and adventurer. A regular contributor to High Times magazine and its website, the editor of the controversial website DrugWar.com, and a columnist for New York Waste, he has published in a variety of publications both in print and online.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, January 6, 2008
By Christopher Stout (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
I have read a few of the other Disinformation books, many of which had decent content and quality editing. This book, however, really disappoints. Rather than containing writings that cut through common knowledge and propaganda to find the truth behind issues, Underground! seems to be cobbled together from a random selection of essays that emphasize the incredible over the likely. Worse, some of the "experts" are shaky at best. Dave Dentel writes a sloppy Creationist screed entitled "Mysterious Origins - Are Humans Just a Happy Accident?" that trots out all the usual Intelligent Design "evidence" and pathetically misinterprets / misunderstands statements made by scientists such as Dawkins, Gould, etc. Not that his misunderstanding of evolutionary science should be surprising, as he is a newspaper copy editor. Not exactly sure how this qualifies him as an expert on the topic, but whatever. Also, just to nitpick, the editing is clearly weak. Yes, these books are collections of essays and you should expect the writers' voices to change throughout the book, but this is all over the map. Avoid Underground! and pick up one of the other generally interesting Disinformation books instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book !, June 14, 2009
Great book for those who are open-minded towards alternative history and archaeology that you weren't taught in school. Another great book with factual American history that wasn't in your school text books is "Everything You Know is Wrong" by the same Disinformation series. One story, that was never in my school books, is about the Ludlow Massacre in Colorado in 1914 in which at least 20 people were killed including women and 11 children by the Colorado National Guard

1.0 out of 5 stars Disinfo books deliver what they promise . . . disinfo, August 17, 2006
By B. Kulp "pontanella" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a big conspiracy buff, have read quite a bit of alternative news and views, and I must say this book is a huge dissappointment. In fact, it's disspointing to the point of being suspect.

The articles included here in this collection are neither "astonishing" nor "hidden." There is little information to back up the claims of the authors, and nothing noteworthy is delivered in their promises of hidden knowledge.

A perfect example is the article on the 33rd parallel and ancient to modern anomalies regarding this phenomenon. Of course, the author just lays out the "syncronicities", but doesn't go so far as to even attempt to illuminate the reader of ideas surrounding it's significance. They don't go into details of links between the Knights Templars and modern masonry, historical numerology, occult tie-ins, or contemporary theories involving the Illuminati.

The Disinfo guide delivers what it promises, half-baked leads with no end in sight, and enough disinfo regarding ancient history to make you swear off researching the topic for good. Avoid this, and any other Disinfo book, as this one indicates the author takes his job of spreading disinfo seriously.
