Mass Market Paperback. Good. 463 pages; spine creasing, edge wear; This collection contains a novel, "The Worthing Chronicle", and nine short stories. Together the stories form a galactic history - a tale of empire, of a struggle to create a perfect society and of the empire's rise and fall. All the stories are filtered through the mind of a boy, Lared. `, Tor Books, 1990-12-15, Center City, MN: Hazelden, 1994-01. Paperback. Good. 312 pages; edge wear; This study for couples is process-oriented rather than solution-oriented, and aims to help the partners become more aware of self-created obstacles to joy and aware of the process by which they can be removed. It aims to help them understand and overcome the powerful hidden motives that keep the mind fixed on certain behaviour. The term the authors use for these motives is "intent", that is the purpose or the unspoken motivation behind what we do. It is always expressed by our behaviour and reacted to by our partner, though usually invisible to both. The authors' therapy concentrates on understanding and respecting the one intent that dominates our lives and creates almost all the difficulties in our relationships - the intent to protect ourselves against any pain, especially disapproval and rejection. They aim to help us understand and take responsibility for our fears and the resulting need to protect ourselves. They encourage positive changes which attempt to stop negative judgement of ourselves and help us understand our part in problems, so that we feel more secure and can enjoy freer and more intimate relationships. The authors are psychologists and marriage counsellors., Hazelden, 1994-01, Counterpoint, 2007-04-05. Trade paperback. Very Good. 312 pages; slight edge wear; How does the human mind transform space into place, or land into landscape? For more than three decades, William L. Fox has looked at empty landscapes and the role of the arts to investigate the way humans make sense of space. In "Terra Antarctica, " Fox continues this line of inquiry as he travels to the Antarctic, the "largest and most extreme desert on earth." This contemporary travel narrative interweaves artistic, cartographic, and scientific images with anecdotes from the author's three-month journey in the Antarctic to create an absorbing and readable narrative of the remote continent. Through its images, history... and firsthand experiences -- snowmobile trips through whiteouts and his icy solo hikes past the edge of the mapped world -- Fox brings to life a place that few have seen and offers us a look into both the nature of landscape and ourselves., Counterpoint, 2007-04-05<
