The recent discovery of diverse fossil flowers and floral organs in Cretaceous strata has revealed astonishing details about the structural and systematic diversity of early angiosperms. Exploring the rich fossil record that has accumulated over the last three decades, this is a unique study of the evolutionary history of flowering plants from their earliest phases in obscurity to their dominance in modern vegetation. The discussion provides comprehensive biological and geological background information, before moving on to summarise the fossil record in detail. Including previously unpublished results based on research into Early and Late Cretaceous fossil floras from Europe and North America, the authors draw on direct palaeontological evidence of the pattern of angiosperm evolution through time. Synthesising palaeobotanical data with information from living plants, this unique book explores the latest research in the field, highlighting connections with phylogenetic systematics, structure and the biology of extant angiosperms.

Freemasonry in the Aquarian Age" tells us the story of the origin of Freemasonry, its purpose and its work through history and of how Masters of the Hierarchy on The Inner Planes work together with humans with the purpose of promoting the coming of God's Kingdom on Earth. In the Aquarian Age Freemasonry will get help to restore the original mysteries. In spite of distortions, oblivion and misunderstandings Freemasonry has been capable of preserving the core of the great esoteric truths. In the coming age Freemasons will be able to educate and form themselves to become true and real servers, who have built a channel into Kingdom of God. Thus they will be able to become true Master Builders transmitting to Earth the Light, Love and Power of God's Kingdom, and the true Brotherhood of Humanity will be recognized. Master D.K. emphasizes that education, education and education again is what can make it possible to restore the mysteries. Esoteric knowledge and meditation must be taught. That which is taught must move from symbols to meaning to significance and must support the individual person to move from the dark into the light or from unreality into reality. The author manifests a vision of the future of Freemasonry and inspires the reader as to how the individual lodge and freemason can begin to prepare the restoration of the mysteries through education.
