The topics of these works are wide-ranging and include alchemy and natural science, imaginary voyages, some Arcadian, some utopian, descriptions of model societies, both Christian and classical and plans for working communities that proposed how to solve the problem of poverty and bring harmony to the poor."--BOOK JACKET.
