description: In Search of Lemuria by Mark Williams explores the fascinatingyet little-known mystery of a lost Pacific continent. The book isstructured around the author's quest to find the lost Pacific continent,as he travels to India, Sumatra, Tonga, Easter Island, Bolivia and manyother places near and far. Along the way he undertakes an inner journeyof discovery as well, while exploring evolution and plate tectonics,quantum mechanics and holograms, Eastern mysticism and "New Age"metaphysics.In Search of Lemuria is intended for a general readership intrigued bylost civilizations, exotic travel destinations, and bizarre customs. Yetit will also appeal to readers curious about the New Age and all itentails, from trance-channeling and fire-walking to reincarnation andmanifestation techniques.In Search of Lemuria fills a profound gap on this important historicalsubject. Currently in print are James Churchward's classic series of"MU" books, written in the 1930s and quaintly dated. Likewise theRosicrucians' odd little tome, Lemuria, The Lost Continent of thePacific (1931) is strictly for MU buffs. David Hatcher Childress's LostCities of Lemuria and the Pacific (1988) is an interesting traveloguediscussing many related subjects, but it is very different in approach.Finally, there are a number of occult titles about channeled lives inLemuria, Ra Mu Speaks, and so on. These appeal to special pockets ofreaders who have already made up their minds about the lost continent.In Search of Lemuria was written for those who want proof that such aplace really existed. And more importantly, readers who seek to know whythe lost Pacific continent is still important today.About the Author:Mark. R. Williams is a freelancewriter living near San Francisco.
