<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From a Dan Brown expert, a handy, reader-friendly guide to 33 critical topics covered in "The Lost Symbol," including photos, illustrations, and reference links for further exploration. <BR>There's so much information and so many facts contained in Dan Brown's thrilling new page-turner that many readers need a quick reference guide to the history, geography, art and architecture, cryptology, science, people and places in the novel. Professor Beyer, who has taught seminars and produced on-line texts to Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons," started to work on this "Lost Symbol" companion guide three years ago in anticipation of its subject matter. <BR>The seven sections are organized by theme and follow the plot of the story: <BR>* People and Places: from Robert Langdon to the mysterious Smithsonian Museum Support Center <BR>*The District of Columbia: the creation and design of Washington, D.C., and its Masonic influences <BR>*Art and Architecture: from the "Apotheosis of Washington" to the Obelisk and Pyramid <BR>*Cryptology: from Kryptos to magic squares <BR>*Modern Science: from Noetics to modern-day physics <BR>*Freemasonry: from origins and Founding Fathers to its symbols (including the significance of the number 33) <BR>*The Secret Teachings: from The Hermetic Tradition to Bacon and "The Bible"<BR><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ever since Professor Beyer read <em>The Da Vinci Code</em>, he became intrigued by Dan Brown's use of facts in fiction. He realized that an examination of the novel could be a tantalizing and entertaining entry into the world of research and evaluating information, and decided to make it the subject of his freshman seminar class at Middlebury College.</p> <p>Beyer and many of his students have followed Dan Brown's work ever since, and four years ago, Beyer began to anticipate and delve into the facts that would be the core of <em>The Lost Symbol</em>. Like millions of other expectant readers, he purchased a copy of the novel on its publication date, September 15, 2009. He read and analyzed it several times, and, at the urging of his publisher, focused on writing this handy, reader-friendly companion guide to <em>The Lost Symbol</em>, in which he elaborates on 33 key topics and identifies 133 Internet links for even further exploration.</p> <p>The topics, organized by theme in seven sections, follow the plot of the story and cover the setting in Washington, D.C., art and architecture, cryptology, Freemasonry, secret teachings, science, and people and places in the novel, highlighted with 33 helpful illustrations.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas R.
