Outposts is a provocative collection of entertaining reviews of over 700 ‘under- ground’ and ‘subversive’ books, newsletters, zines, catalogues and videos. Some of the material may shock, but it has been included in the interests of freedom over authoritari- anism. Author Russ Kick admits to reviewing sources he disagrees with, but points out that the reader must question and decide what to pursue. To form an opinion, he says, requires listening to what everyone has to say—but that means getting access to ideas and information that have “run the gauntlet of suppression, intimidation, ridicule and being ignored". Reviews are covered under broad cate- gories—alternative culture, art, beliefs, the body, comix, conspiracies and cover-ups, cyberculture, drugs, extremism, the mind, mischief, sex, the unexplained/unorthodox science, and much more. The variety of ‘alternative’ material available is staggering, and Russ Kick has, commendably, provided APRIL-MAY 1996 ® REVIEWS publication address info for each listing. (And, yes, NEXUS is listed, under “Conspiracies: Miscellaneous"!)

Afnint Vac The questions and comments directed to the author come from concerned parents, with a few medical/health professionals also represented. Miller's responses are well- documented so that readers can pursue their own lines of research and ultimately make wise, well-informed decisions. Not a health practitioner, Miller is carcful to make no claims either for or against vac- cines, as the decision on whether or not to vaccinate should be made by parents—not mandated by governments or doctors ill- informed about the risks. Considering the research pointing to the dangers, and the sad stories from parents whose children have died or become disabled as a result of vacci- nations, chances are you'd reject the immu- nisation option. This handbook goes a long way in clarifying parental concerns. IMMUNIZATIONS: The People Speak! by Neil Z.
