THE TRUTH AGENDA BECOMES A SOCIOLOGY TEXTBOOK AT A CANADIAN UNIVERSITY
A Professor of Sociology at Canada's Vancouver Island University, described as a 'centre of excellence for teaching, applied research and learning', is currently using The Truth Agenda as one of the textbooks for a course in 'Social Control and Resistance'. In a personal communication to Andy, Professor Richard Fredericks writes:
'I read your book during last summer, and quite liked the even-handed approach you take to the many controversial topics you tackle. So, I decided to assign it to my second year Sociology students, for a course called Social Control and Resistance. I have assigned them three texts, which I loosely dubbed the conventional (a standard academic introduction to Social Control), the unconventional (your book), and the potential (Margaret Atwood's dystopian The Handmaid's Tale).
A key concern of the course, and this is what underlies the "resistance" part of it, is the whole issue of knowledge, its creation and its control. I take an Orwellian tack, and am keen to introduce my students to that full slate of forbidden and alternative ideas your book so effectively tackles. It should be fun, and, ideally, very eye-opening for them.'
Andy says: 'I'm very happy to hear that the book is being used in such a leading establishment. Anything that introduces these kinds of important subjects to a wider demographic can only be helpful in giving them much-needed exposure. I appreciate Professor Fredericks' boldness in being prepared to tackle 'alternative' views in a mainstream environment, and look forward to hearing what the students make of the book and the issues explored therein'.
We hope to report back when the course concludes! More on Vancouver Island University can be found here.

ANDY THOMAS & IAN R CRANE 9/11 TV PROGRAMME FOR SKY 200 NOW ON DVD
To commemorate the tenth anniversary of 9/11, Edge Media TV (Sky channel 200) presented a whole day's programming on 9/11 truth issues, exploring precisely why over 50% of the world's population no longer believe the official story of the attacks. This culminated in 9/11: Inside Job?, a two hour and 40 minutes TV discussion with Andy Thomas and leading geopolitics researcher Ian R Crane in conversation with presenter Alex G (as well as an opening guest appearance from ex-police investigator Tony Farrell, sacked for questioning 9/11 and other 'terrorist' events). The show acts as an excellent starting point for those wanting an overview of the key reasons why the official account of 9/11 simply doesn't ring true. The programme has now been released as an official DVD and more info and online ordering can be found here.

New version of An Introduction to Crop Circles NOW AVAILABLE
As well as being busy with the revised edition of The Truth Agenda, Andy has also just put the finishing touches to a new and almost completely rewritten version of the book An Introduction to Crop Circles.

LOOKING BACK ON 2010…
The Truth Agenda receives MANY positive reviews
As 2010 proceeded, a number of mainstream magazines and other journals reviewed The Truth Agenda in almost universally glowing terms, and reviews are continuing to appear in 2011. The book has now been covered by the likes of Kindred Spirit, Fortean Times, Caduceus, Soul and Spirit, Spirit and Destiny, Paradigm Shift and many other titles, helping to stir a lot of interest. Excerpts from many of the reviews so far can be read on the Reviews page.
Andy THOMAS on tour 2010
As well as continuing his ongoing appearances for many groups and conferences across the UK, 2010 saw Andy speak at the Dialogue With the Universe symposium at Curitiba, Brazil, and at another event in Sao Paulo, both in September. He then successfully toured The Netherlands for two weeks in November, speaking for branches of the Genootschap Nederland-Engeland organisation on The Truth Agenda. Keep up with Andy’s forthcoming public lectures on the Events page.
ANDY THOMAS FEATURES IN PATRICIA CORI'S BOOK BEYOND THE MATRIX
Well-known Italian-US author and spiritual talk-show host Patrica Cori brought out a new book in 2010, Beyond The Matrix, based around what the subtitle describes as 'Daring Conversations With the Brilliant Minds of Our Times' (!). Amongst luminaries such as astronaut Edgar Mitchell, New Age guru Drunvalo Melchizedek and UFO investigator Stanton T Friedman, there is a chapter based around the crop circle investigation work of Andy Thomas and his personal thoughts about this persistent and ever-controversial phenomenon. The book is a good compendium of many of the key alternative subjects of the moment and can be ordered from here.
Andy on Pineapple Dance Studios!
Continuing his many appearances on TV and radio, 2010 saw Andy - perhaps unexpectedly - feature on SKY 1’s massive hit show Pineapple Dance Studios. Fans of the programme will know that this reality-TV series followed the lives of those working at the famed dance studios in London (with now huge-celebrity Louie Spence as its main star). One of the Pineapple staff members became interested in the paranormal after seeing one of Andy Thomas’s lectures on crop circles some years before – so a SKY TV crew was dispatched to film Andy give a special presentation in 2010 for the London Forum group, and parts of the lecture and a vox-pop interview with Andy and some audience members were included in the edition of Pineapple Dance Studios broadcast on Easter Sunday. A rather surreal but fun dance featuring ‘ETs’ in a crop circle was also included, which did NOT feature Andy... The clip can be seen by clicking here.
