Many people have heard of the Camino de Santiago, the network of pilgrim trails in Spain that lead to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwest Spain. Just about ninety kilometers west is a point on the Iberian Peninsula, the furthest western point on the European continent, or the end of the earth. The famous pilgrim trails which crisscross Europe leading to these points are called Caminos. Some people have walked them. Even more have considered walking one or more. Still others, fascinated by the adventure, cannot walk a Camino but enjoy hearing stories of others who have done so. If you find yourself in any of these three categories, you will enjoy this book. Book four in this series "The End of the Earth" continues the stories. There is much more to walking a Camino than just walking. It is the beginning of the journey of a lifetime. So much to learn about yourself, your relations, your life, your world. It all begins with that first step. But be aware, there is no end. Once you begin your Camino, you are a pilgrim for life, a Perpetual Pilgrim.

Reissued on the tenth anniversary of its publication, this classic work on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author, reviewing both the progress and ground lost in the fight to save the earth. This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is today still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. McKibben's argument that the survival of the globe is dependent on a fundamental, philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature is more relevant than ever. McKibben writes of our earth's environmental cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. His new introduction addresses some of the latest environmental issues that have risen during the 1990s. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures that surveys the progress of the environmental movement. More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of scientific prediction, this classic, soulful lament on Nature is required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike.

In A Mythic Life, Jean Houston shows how we can discover the mythic elements in our lives and explains how our mythology fits into the emerging global consciousness. Drawing from her own life experiences, as well as from the astounding wealth of cultural knowledge she has acquired while working with indigenous peoples all over the world, Houston shows how the mythic patterns that underlie each of our lives are repeated again and again - across cultures and across time - like the patterns that emerge from the seeming chaos in fractal images. Houston uses the story of her life to explain how our recent history is a story of convergence. Thanks to the communications revolution, everything the human race has ever done or thought is suddenly becoming available to each of us. And out of this wealth of cultural knowledge, a new mythology is being born - a mythology that will change the world as it embraces the mythic elements in each of our lives.

Today we automatically distinguish between past and present, labelling things taken out of context as "anachronisms." The author shows how this tendency did not always exist, and how the past as such was born of the perceived difference between past and present. He takes readers on a grand tour of historical thinking from antiquity to modernity.
