Occulto has kept its glossy outlook but is twice as thick.
It features stories about urine tests and work conditions; sea urchins and Magnetic Resonance Imaging; oscillations applied to neuroscience and electronic music; delirious theories about how sistematic blood transfusions can heal any mortal disease; reflections on the damages caused by scientific illiteracy in the last centuries and more more more.

"0,000069 calories per gram of nerve per second [...]: Excessively small, in other words, or amazingly close to nothing. Amazingly, because one had to 'suppose that nerve is living', after all; hence, give off heat. And hence, of course, the many precautions; hence the pillar and shields; hence early mornings, or late-nights, preferably on weekends – only on special occasions do these polluted surroundings allow for meaningful measurements, the progress of ‘vibration engineering’ and noise hygiene at the time notwithstanding."
Max Stadler, Oscillations "As shown here, sea urchins are internally primarily composed of a digestive tract (blue) for food processing and gonads (yellow) for reproduction – they presumably lead a very happy life. However, some animals possess additional structures, such as the so-called Stewart’s organs (red), horn-shaped internal protuberances whose function despite their considerable size is still unclear."
Alexander Ziegler, 2500 Years of Revealing the Hidden: Occult Studies in Zoology "The climate of the desert Southwest is a fertile breeding ground for fair weather cumulus, clouds which are formed by columns of hot air rising from the desert floor and forming puffy white clouds a mile or so in the air. These convective cumulus clouds bear a striking resemblance to the official logo of the a-bomb, the mushroom cloud."
