"In the midst of the Superpowers and the Third World, a new vision is emerging of a Fourth World, encompassing small communities as an alternative to the notion that “bigger is better.” Returning power to a personal level is one of the goals and Papworth provides some useful ways to meet the challenge he so eloquently describes."
"Share with us in this illuminating, self-revealing search for a new vision for the roles of women in these times and new modes of expressing that vision. Jean Shinoda Bolen penetrates beyond the “historicity” of Greek myth to find living archetypes of psychological modes and life roles of women today."
"Psychiatrist Jean Bolen describes seven archetypal patterns embodied in seven of the Greek goddesses. In knowing which “goddess” is present, a woman can have a deeper understanding of everyday occurrences as well as more dramatic events--not to mention the benefits men can realize through a better understanding of the female psyche. Listen in and you may enjoy an “Aha!” experience in recognizing your own goddesses within."

"Have you ever harbored dreams of being a writer? You’re far from alone. Have you wrestled time and again with a seeming inability to write? You’ve got even more company there. Now help is on the way in the person of Gabriele Rico, who was Professor of English and Creative Arts at San Jose State University. In her book Writing the Natural Way, Rico says flatly, “If you can speak, form letters on the page, take a telephone message, or write a thank-you note, you have sufficient language skills to learn to write the natural way.” In this conversation she provides a wealth of information on how you can unlock your own innate creativity and write the novel, poem, or Pulitzer Prize-winning postcard of your dreams.
