The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the
nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed
his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective
unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform
psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the
higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the
New York Times, "The creation of one of modern history's true
visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of
categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it
transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's
place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of
course, Freud." The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu
Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's
vital work in one volume.
Creations of the Mind presents sixteen original essays by theorists
from a wide variety of disciplines who have a shared interest in
the nature of artifacts and their implications for the human mind.
All the papers are written specially for this volume, and they
cover a broad range of topics concerned with the metaphysics of
artifacts, our concepts of artifacts and the categories that they
represent, the emergence of an understanding of artifacts in
infants' cognitive development, as well as the evolution of
artifacts and the use of tools by non-human animals. This volume
will be a fascinating resource for philosophers, cognitive
scientists, and psychologists, and the starting point for future
research in the study of artifacts and their role in human
understanding, development, and behaviour. Contributors: John R.

Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . 'An authentically
soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.' MATT HAIG 'On Connection is
medicine for these wounded times.' MAX PORTER 'On Connection came
to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have
to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'
CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS This is a book about connection. About how
immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater
self-awareness and bring us closer to each other. Drawing on two
decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest
champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to
practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper
relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we
live in. Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On
Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform
the way you see the world. 'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER
'Tempest's prose is crisp and thoughtful.' NEW STATESMAN
