All Things Must Fight To Live (995)

Stories Of War And Deliverance In Congo

BY BRIAN MEALER
Not for the faint of heart. Bryan Mealer travelled extensively in the Congo after the bitter wars that spilled in from Rwanda. He searches for hope and does find some in ordinary courageous people, but he also found madness and senseless slaughter and greed. Its one mans attempt to find what is the truth and the cause as literally millions are overlooked and die in fighting massacres and neglect in the middle of Africa. These are stories that rarely play upon our attention, that should. SECONDHAND COPY, as new -even bought from us, but doesnt look as if it was read.

Beyond War (5526)

The Human Potential For Peace

BY DOUGLAS FRY
Douglas P. Fry convincingly argues in Beyond War, the facts show that our ancient ancestors were not innately warlike--and neither are we. Drawing on archaeology and fascinating fieldwork on hunter-gatherer bands from around the world, Fry debunks the idea that war is ancient and inevitable. Fry shows that, far from being natural, warfare actually appeared quite recently along with changes in social organization and especially the rise of states. But Fry also points out that even today, when war seems ever present (at least on television), the vast majority of us live peaceful, nonviolent lives.SECONDHASND COPY -as new condition.

EDWARD EDINGER
SECONDHAND COPY- paperback that looks as if it ghas been read, but otherwise good. his book is about the individual's journey to psychological wholeness, known in analytical psychology as the process of individuation. Edward Edinger traces the stages in this process and relates them to the search for meaning through encounters with symbolism in religion, myth, dreams, and art. For contemporary men and women, Edinger believes, the encounter with the self is equivalent to the discovery of God. The result of the dialogue between the ego and the archetypal image of God is an experience that dramatically changes the individual's worldview and makes possible a new and more meaningful way of life.
