A Map for the Journey

In the early 1920's, Esther Harding began working with C.G. Jung and in the following decades she put his insights and theories to the test in her own analytical practice. This book was compiled from lectures she gave in the early 1960's and is intended for the general reader who has an interest in Jung's fundamental ideas but who may not be prepared at the moment to follow Jung into the depths of his deep, dark woods.

The material is organized into chapters that cover the basic Jungian themes: The Shadow, The Anima and the Animus, The Participation Mystique, The Archetypal Figures, The Psychological Aspects of Metaphysical Reality. The writing is as clear and as simple as the ideas will allow. The book traces the development of consciousness from childhood onward, and gives examples of the challenges we all face as we struggle through the individuation process. It offers encouragement that it is indeed possible to fully integrate the opposing forces that are at work in us--both the conscious factors and the unconscious elements that seem to determine so much of our behavior.

Like Marie Louise von Franz, Esther Harding is very good at clarifying the complications of Jung's thought. If you have ever found yourself fascinated but absolutely lost in the forest while reading Jung this book will lay down a trail for you through the tangle, and will help you avoid some very common psychological pitfalls. It might not lead you directly to the bright clearing of the Self, but it can at least offer a rationale for undertaking the journey, while positing an idea of the goal, and providing a map that is clearly drawn and carefully marked.

I have challenged myself to standup paddleboard to all of the RI lighthouses (and I have made it to two of the Maine lights also).  This map has been helpful for seeing the big picture of where everything lies and there is a little bit of information about each with is an excellent bonus.

I love maps and have to say, this one didn't disappoint. It provides an interesting perspective of East and Southern Africa, with some great charts explaining what to expect temp/weather-wise- the things you don't really think about when purchasing a map, but things that definitely prove surprisingly helpful in the long run. It was definitely a bit larger than I expected and perhaps a bit clunky to maneuver, but all-in-all, I'm satisfied with it!

Enjoyed this map and the illustrations regarding lighthouses.  Have not been able to use it for a trip at this time.  I am looking forward to using it as a basis for a trip in the fall.

A great atlas, but better yet, a great reading book.  The author unfolds a visit to the holy land with his prose.

It was a very large map that gave us a feel for distances we plan to travel on our vacation.

The map is a perfect size for the intended purpose. The print is large and the individual colors of each state is not overbearing but awesome to look at. It is a great learning tool and cities are easy to locate from coast to coast. I purchase two maps, one for myself and the second for a niece who is due to graduate soon. The map is a perfect motivational tool to encourage her to do well in school.

"It's about the way, not the destination." This was the theme of the book and one that the author does a great job of illustrating throughout. Sunrises to Santiago is a book for anyone who has ever wanted to travel in hopes of finding adventure while also finding his or herself. You are taken on a journey as the author and his wife go on a 30 day trip across Spain and part of France for the Camino de Santiago.

As I read this book, I found my own desire to do the Camino de Santiago increase tenfold due to the great descriptions. A lot of care is given to ensure that you feel as if you are in this 30 day journey. Little effort is needed to imagine the hotels, meals and companions that become part of this book. You feel the excitement, sorrow, anxiety, and more that Gabriel shares with his fellow travelers ans his wife along the way. The author also provides good quotes throughout which also illustrate his growth during the journey. One of my favorites is one which the author comes across near the end of his journey that he uses as motivation to live in the now and enjoy each moment. "The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance;the wise man grows it under his feet."

I look forward to seeing what else Gabriel Schirm writes as he has a talent that could continue to grow in future works

Per usual, Michelin did a great job with the map.  All roads shown including the very secondary roads.  It pretty large, measuring about 42"x38", but you can't show all this detail with a smaller map in my opinion.  Be aware it is not in English, but I expected that having purchased other Michelin European maps previously.  I have a Garmin GPS for navigation, but sometimes you do need to check details when deciding exactly where to go before plugging in waypoints.  Even though I love the GPS, I still like to see "the big picture" that you simply cannot see on a 5" GPS screen.  And this is the latest 2013 version, so the new highways are all there.

It is difficult to describe all of the riches that Derek Hayes' latest atlas project offers to the armchair historian. Its 200+ pages brim with more than 500 maps, photos, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, illustrations, advertisements and other historical ephemera, all succinctly explained and consolidated in Hayes' descriptive yet succinct text. The journey begins with the earliest known maps of Washington and Oregon drawn up by explorers like Quadra, Barkley, Quimper, Gray and Vancouver - scrawled yet often elegant relics reflecting the limits of knowledge of the first Europeans venturing in to this rugged landscape - and gains sophistication as missionaries, railroad workers, miners, loggers and other settlers begin to push in to the territory. Later pages are devoted to the development of the interstate road system, national parks and forests, irrigation and hydropower, floating bridges and atomic and aerospace industries. Open to any page of Hayes' bursting compendium and you're likely to be engrossed by the diversity of materials and depth of research.

Great book, gives good highlights on sites along the way and the map with direction in each on for the various route and what is locate on each path is excellent. Very happy I brought the book

Map is beautiful! Love the lamentation. Edges were very curly when my husband and I  took it out of the box, but it should straighten out in a couple days. Can't wait to start mapping where we have been so far around the world.
