History
The magazine was first formed in 1986 by Ramses H. Ayana as a quarterly publication covering human rights, the environment, alternative health, women's rights, New Age, Free Energy, alternative science and the paranormal. Co-founder of the magazine was Jenni Elf and both founders had previously worked on the independent Australian magazine 'Maggie's Farm'. R. Ayana now publishes blogs new illuminati and Her(m)etic Hermit. NEXUS was handed on to Duncan Roads in 1990, continuing a long tradition of keeping alternative publications alive in Australia, regardless of monetary considerations. Following the handover, the topics covered by Nexus were changed and it moved to a bi-monthly publication schedule. Duncan Roads and his partner Catherine Simons have produced the magazine since then.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
