The Bohemian Grove and Other Retreats: A Study in Ruling-Class Cohesiveness
The Bohemian Grove and different retreats: A research in ruling-class cohesiveness via G. William Domhoff.
Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, Vol. 10: The Ancient State
One very important key to realizing smooth civilization is a familiarity with its old history. Many glossy rules and practices — social, political, or even financial — have cleared parallels and antiquity. A cautious examine of those forerunners of our traditions, particularity as they contributed to the downfall of past civilizations, will help us keep away from a few of the errors of our predecessors.

1000 Ma, precluding derivation from the Archaean Lewisian Complex. Taking the age data together with sedimentary structures in the Moine metasediments that indicate sediment transport from the south, the Palaeo- and Mesoproterozoic rocks of the Rhinns and Annagh Complexes are one possible source. There has been much debate over whether or not the Torridonian and Moine rocks were deposited as continental and marine sequences in the same basin. 1), the rather different source regions, as indicated by the detrital mineral suites, suggest that they may have been deposited in separate basins.
2 Structure of the Grampian Highlands Although in detail the tectonics of the Grampian Highlands is complex, there is a large-scale coherence to the pattern of deformation in that the main structures trend NE–SW across the region and can be traced for hundreds of kilometres along strike. The geometry of the structures is illustrated on the 3-D block diagram of the Grampian Highlands from the Great Glen Fault to the Highland Boundary Fault (Figure. 7). This and the following Section describe the geometry of the main structures and the sequence of deformation events responsible for their formation.
590 Ma. The Ben Vuirich granite is one of several deformed and metamorphosed granites, collectively referred to as the Older Granites, which intrude Argyll Group sediments in the Pitlochry area. Structural studies of the Ben Vuirich granite have indicated that it was emplaced prior to regional orogenic (Grampian) deformation and metamorphism (described in Section 5). Given the overlap in the ages of the Older Granites and the Tayvallich Volcanics, it follows that granitic magmatism, basaltic volcanism and sedimentation must have been near-synchronous and occurred during continental rifting at c.
