Marilyn Ferguson dead

BANNING (U.S.): Marilyn Ferguson, whose best-selling book The Aquarian Conspiracy helped establish the New Age movement by tying together its disparate threads, has died.

Ms. Ferguson, 70, died on October 19 at her home in western Riverside County. She is believed to have died of a heart attack, her son, Eric, told the Los Angeles Times.

Ms. Ferguson was born in Grand Junction, Colorado, on April 5, 1938. She moved to Los Angeles in 1968 where she studied psychology and gathered information about new research in hypnosis, meditation and extra-sensory perception that she explored in her book The Brain Revolution (1973). — AP
