No other marks or stamps to this otherwise As New book with flawless interior text pages. This book is autobiographical and almost journal and is about the author's search for her individualism and purpose. She was raised in the Christian Science Church and was confronted with her faith as well as all the issues facing young mothers caring for their children in the fifties and sixties who wanted to know about themselves. They struggled to find their own voice, striving to free themselves from the power of the patriarchy. Women searched in the darkness, creating their unique selves as they took step after step toward the light of consciousness. Jan's story is one such example of what women as well as men are facing in today's world. Jan MacLaren received a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology and has worked as Clinic Coordinator at the Jung Institute in San Francisco. Patricia Sohl, author of the Preface was Curator of Research Archives at San Francisco Jung Institute. Contents are in Four Parts: Sam, Dr. Philip Lane, Dr. Margo West, and Dr. Michael Caldwell all of whom were practitioners or analysts the author was seeing at various life stages. The author now lives in the Northwest where she continues to write. Bledsoe, Sheila - Book Design (illustrator).

    Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition dark blue boards, navy blue cloth spine, silver front cover lettering and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by William F. Buckley, Jr.; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction by John Leonard; Index and About the Author. "This is the first full-bodied, wide-ranging collection of Bill Buckley's essays, columns, letters, enthusiasms, criticism, analyses, and reflections since his bestselling book Right Reason eight years ago. Here, he proceeds from Assailing to Celebrating, to the reader's - if not always the subject's - delight. He draws first blood in his eloquent, incisive attentions to Jesse Jackson, Mario Cuomo, Ross Perot, and selected short subjects (though, to be fair, Jesse and Mario are tall). In other sections, Reflecting, Playing, Appreciating, he writes of Gorbachev and Clarence Thomas, Ted Kennedy and Elizabeth Tayllor, Bob Dylan and Princess Di, Jack Kemp and Theodore White. His themes cover the fall of communism ("Lest We Forget"); the fall of academic standards and integrity ("Passion Among the Ivypersons,"); the Gulf War and the Los Angeles riots; the disappearance of sin (from view or from debate); and the Reagans, Clare Boothe Luce, William Shawn, Sidney Hook, Malcolm Muggeridge, Richard Nixon, and others whose passing from life or from office he movingly, pointedly remarks upon. All in all, this volume is prime, vintage, mature Buckley. As Alistair Cooke observed, in the 1990s, Buckley continues doing "out of right field what Orwell was doing out of left field in the 1930s." - from the inner front jacket flap.

    Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition olive green boards, navy blue cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Lists of Other Books by David Hackett Fischer; Author Dedication; Introduction: In Search of Champlain; Notes; Bibliography; Map Sources; Art Credits; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with two sections of color photographic plates, plus black-and-white photos and maps interspersed throughout the volume and color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "In this sweeping, enthralling biography, acclaimed historian David Hackett Fischer brings to life the remarkable Samuel de Champlain - soldier, spy, master mariner, explorer, cartographer, artist, and Father of New France. Born on France's Atlantic coast, Champlain grew to manhood in a country riven by religious warfare. The historical record is unclear on whether Champlain was baptized Protestant or Catholic, but he fought in France's religious wars for the man who would become Henri IV, one of France's greatest kings, and like Henri, he was religiously tolerant in an age of murderous sectarianism. Champlain was also a brilliant navigator. He went to sea as a boy and over time acquired the skills that allowed him to make twenty-seven Atlantic crossings without losing a ship. But we remember Champlain mainly as a great explorer. On foot and by ship and canoe, he traveled through what are now six Canadian provinces and five American states. Over more than thirty years he founded, colonized, and administered French settlements in North America. Sailing frequently between France and Canada, he maneuvered through court intrigue in Paris and negotiated among more than a dozen Indian nations in North America to establish New France. Champlain had early support frm Henri IV and later Louis XIII, but the Queen Regent Marie de Medici and Cardinal Richelieu opposed his efforts. Despite much resistance and many defeats, Champlain, by his astonishing dedication and stamina, finally established France's New World colony. He tried constantly to maintain peace among Indian nations that were sometimes at war with one another, but when he had to, he took up arms and forcefully imposed a new balance of power, proving himself a formidable strategist and warrior. Throughout his three decades in North America, Champlain remained committed to a remarkable vision, a Grand Design for France's colony. He encouraged intermarriage among the French colonists and the natives, and he insisted on tolerance for Protestants. He was a visionary leader, especially when compared to his English and Spanish contemporaries - a man who dreamed of humanity and peace in a world of cruelty and violence. This superb biography, the first in decades, is as dramatic and exciting as the life it portrays. Deeply researched, it is illustrated throughout with many contemporary images and maps, including several drawn by Champlain himself." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
