Dear list,
I am pleased to announce that my book, The Problem of Disenchantment: Scientific Naturalism and Esoteric Discourse, 1900?1939, has been published with Brill this past August. Three chapters deal explicitly with esotericism, one of which is directly magic-related, but I hope the book may be of interest to members of this list for other reasons as well (e.g. the whole disenchantment discussion). So, tip your library!
Btw, you may read the introduction and first chapter for free at Google Books.
