A classic in the field of psychology, From India to Planet Mars
(1900) depicts the remarkable multiple existence of the medium
Helene Smith, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Marie
Antoinette, of a Hindu princess from fifteenth-century India, and
of a regular visitor to Mars, whose landscapes she painted and
whose language she appeared to speak fluently. Through a
psychological interpretation of these fantasies, which consisted in
the subliminal elaboration of forgotten memories, Theodore Flournoy
vastly extended the scope and understanding of the unconscious, and
in particular, of its creative and mythopoetic capacities. In the
introduction to this work, Soriu Shamdasani evokes the rich
cultural and intellectual setting which Flournoy published his
findings, and discusses their impact on Freud, Jung, and other
pioneers psychology. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton

A Jehovah's Witness' Painful but Liberating Realization that She
Must Give Up Her Faith "An inherently compelling and candidly
revealing memoir . . . an extraordinary, riveting and unreservedly
recommended read from first page to last." -Midwest Book Review
Linda Curtis was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and is an
unquestioning true believer who has knocked on doors from the time
she was nine years old. Like other Witnesses, she has been
discouraged from pursuing a career, higher education, or even
voting, and her friendships are limited to the Witness community.
Then one day, at age thirty-three, she knocks on a door-and a
coworker she deeply respects answers the door. To their mutual
consternation she launches into her usual spiel, but this time, for
the first time ever, the message sounds hollow. In the months that
follow, Curtis tries hard to overcome the doubts that spring from
that doorstep encounter, knowing they could upend her "safe"
existence. But ultimately, unable to reconcile her incredulity, she
leaves her religion and divorces her Witness husband-a choice for
which she is shunned by the entire community, including all members
of her immediate family. Shunned follows Linda as she steps into a
world she was taught to fear and discovers what is possible when we
stay true to our hearts, even when it means disappointing those we
love. ". . . a moving portrait of one woman's life as a Jehovah's
Witness and her painful but liberating realization that she must
give up her faith." Publishers Weekly "Curtis's story reads as true
to life . . . it will resonate across faith lines." -Foreword
Reviews "A profound, at times fascinating, personal transformation
told with meticulous detail." -Kirkus Reviews "...a riveting story,
a page-turner, a magnificent contribution, and a book you will
never forget." -Lynne Twist, global activist and author of The Soul
of Money "A wonderful book that is about so much more than the
Jehovah's Witnesses." -Adair Lara, longtime columnist for the San
Francisco Chronicle "...brilliant, respectful, insightful and most
of all hopeful." Openly Bookish Readers of Educated and Leaving the
Witness will resonate with Linda Curtis' moving and courageous
account of personal transformation. Order your copy today and begin
