The section of junior level books on aliens, UFOs, and monsters consists of very short picture books. Another level does exist, and used to be promoted by library grants, so that a member could take six-month courses on the categories involved, those being aliens (human type strange phenomenon), cryptozoology (animal type strange phenomenon) and ghosts (spiritual type strange phenomenon), This program has lost funding, which might not be a problem, since it focused on reports to the talk doctor type secrecy laden hearsay, and ignored morals altogether. In spite of the section being saturated with thirty-two-page color saturated folios, some volumes exist on this level, which contain ideological manifestos and directions to major sighting collection establishments and their propaganda centers (think Art Bell).
The tween infographics and the overly adult science fiction both leave too much to be desired as data. It's hard to criticize a picture book as information in the age of electronics and (too much) film, because picture books are in a category by themselves. Art is visual, people know and appreciate that fact. An art folio is printed to show the paintings in a portable document format, but part of a painting or series of paintings being classifiable as "fine art" is knowing that they are definitely finished (final) and it has something to do with the whole scene being lucid. A scene with a title and a paragraph long description that is obviously complete doesn't need any further research done on it, except to place it in the stream of history, and compare it to other finished paintings from the same place over time, or from the same year but finished in other places. That's the "secret" of fine art, what makes it fine? Well, it's not just the perspective and the proportion, or the size of the camel hairbrush. It's the fact that the canvass is finished.
The word "occult' has a Latin etymology, it's national origin and history are in Rome, and it refers specifically to the death of Julius Ceasar, as the word "conspiracy" refers to the murder of Socrates. In atomic spelling and pronunciation, it is the word "occulare" with a glottal stop, and an actor might have to demonstrate it in dramatic character to fully convey the sense of it. He saw something incomplete (the life of Julius, or Lincoln, a murder victim, was cut short incomplete". To use the word occult fully in a complete essay of what you saw is to convey the fact that you saw part of something, and while you know that you only saw part of a life, or a narrowly focused window on an event (in close up, through a fish eye or long range camera lens), you know that you didn't see and hear enough to know everything. To claim that you di occult is to say that you saw, and know what you saw, but to indicate at the same time that you are aware that you saw only part of a complete picture, and given the etymological history, that you are being prevented from searching to find the rest of the narrative.
