The Nazi fascination with the occult is legendary, yet today it is often dismissed as Himmler's personal obsession or wildly overstated for its novelty.

The regime enlisted astrology and the paranormal, paganism, Indo-Aryan mythology, witchcraft, miracle weapons, and the lost kingdom of Atlantis in reimagining German politics and society and recasting German science and religion.

Since its inception, the story of human civilization has been told almost entirely from places where evidence survived. River valleys, plateaus, and arid landscapes dominate our understanding of early complexity—not necessarily because they were the only places it emerged, but because they were the places most accessible and least altered by ice and rising seas.

Focusing on the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, the book explores how long-adapted northern populations could have ...

Swarthy, hairy, ostracized by others of his tribe, Arnten set off to lead a life of proud and lonely independence in his primitive world of Thule - Ultima Thule - where men huddled in animal skins against the arctic cold and used crude clubs and spears to kill the giant prehistoric animals that roamed the land. But Arnten - "The Bear" - was quicker of body and sharper of mind than his fellow men, and he had a special destiny: a path beset with mortal danges and evil witchery he must overcome to save himself, his world, and his woman, from the evil one called "The Wolf"!

Thule is a reconstruction of the northern world as it was known, named, and remembered before the Arctic became a blank space on modern maps. Drawing on Greek, Roman, Norse, Islamic, Celtic, East Asian, and Indigenous sources, this volume traces humanity’s long engagement with the far North—not as an empty wilderness, but as a region of orientation, continuity, and meaning. From the first accounts of the midnight sun to Renaissance maps of the polar axis, Thule restores the testimony of sailors, monks, geographers, traders, and myth-keepers who reached toward the edge of the inhabited ...

A fireball over the Arctic. A missing hydrogen bomb. A Cold War program exposed in a single, shattering night. Before dawn on January 21, 1968, a U.S. Air Force B-52G code-named HOBO 28 streaked across the polar sky carrying four thermonuclear weapons. Its mission—Operation Chrome Dome—kept nuclear-armed bombers in the air 24/7, ready to strike Moscow in minutes. But when a cockpit fire roared through the bomber at 41,000 feet, the crew faced an unthinkable choice: burn alive or bail out into −60 °F darkness. Minutes later a mushroom-shaped blast lit North Star Bay, scattering ...
