In "Princess Diana, Modern Day Moon-Goddess: A Psychoanalytical and
Mythological Look at Diana Spencer's Life, Marriage, and Death,"
esteemed psychoanalyst Jane G. Goldberg, Ph.D. and award-winning
historian and author Lochlainn Seabrook have joined forces to
create an altogether unique and intriguing nonfiction work on one
of the most beloved figures of all time. Goldberg, a Louisiana
native and now a New York therapist, sees Diana's growth - from
self-deprecating ingenue, to royal mother, to powerful and
independent woman - as an inevitable process in the Princess' climb
toward self-actualization, one cut short by numerous tragic
missteps. Seabrook, a religion and mythology scholar,
seventh-generation Kentuckian, and a cousin of Diana, views her
life and death as fated, made more understandable by comparing her
with her ancient namesake, the Old European Moon-Goddess Diana,
with whom the Princess of Wales shared many uncanny similarities.
Combining psychoanalytic and mythological perspectives, the authors
weave an engaging interpretation of Lady Spencer's life, one that
includes an examination of her marriage to Prince Charles, their
breakup, her short bout with freedom, and her eerie death after a
crash in a gloomy Parisian tunnel, synchronistically named "Bridge
of the Moon-Goddess." All is cast in the light of ancient myths
surrounding the Pagan lunar-deity Diana, known in ancient Greece as
Artemis. As Princess Diana's psycho-mythic drama unfolds, we are
treated to a veritable introduction to both depth psychology and
comparative mythology, languages that Goldberg and Seabrook use to
ably describe the shy aristocrat's rise to fame and fortune and her
fall into tragedy and darkness. The Foreword is by noted
psychoanalyst Dr. Phyllis W. Meadow. A respectful book in the mold
of the venerable Sigmund Freud and Robert Graves, it includes a
comprehensive bibliography, detailed index, and numerous quotes by
the universally admired "People's Princess." With its fresh and
provocative insights, "Princess Diana, Modern Day Moon-Goddess" is
a must-read for anyone interested in Lady Di, psychology, or
mythology. Goldberg is a practicing psychoanalyst and recognized as
a leading authority in the fields of psychological oncology and
holistic health. She is the author of seven books, including the
acclaimed "The Dark Side of Love: The Positive Role of Negative
Feelings." Seabrook, a descendant of the Spencers, is the recipient
of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the
author of forty popular books for all ages, including the spiritual
blockbuster "Jesus and the Law of Attraction: The Bible-Based Guide
to Creating Perfect Health, Wealth, and Happiness Following
Christ's Simple Formula."
If we re to believe the nearly 20,000 books that have been written
about President Lincoln by pro-North and New South historians, he
was an ardent abolitionist, a Bible-believing Christian, and a
Constitution-loving conservative who headed the most ethical
administration in U.S. history, preserved the Union, ended American
slavery, and became the black man s greatest champion by granting
him full civil and equal rights. In fact, according to Lincoln s
own words, nothing could be further from the truth. After reading
this eye-opening book, you ll be asking yourself the question: Why
then does Lincoln continue to be annually voted America s best,
favorite, and most important president by people of all ages,
races, religions, and political persuasions? The answer -
well-known to Southerners for the past 150 years - is that the real
Lincoln has been carefully concealed from us by his faithful
worshipers, the Lincolnites, some who are simply uninformed, others
who will stop at nothing to keep you from learning the facts about
our sixteenth chief executive and his unconstitutional,
unnecessary, and unjustifiable war. In this handy Civil War
Sesquicentennial Edition of The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln,
Southern historian and award-winning Tennessee author Lochlainn
Seabrook closely examines the politically incorrect statements they
don t want you to know. Included here, among some 230 footnoted
entries, are Lincoln s controversial, even un-American, views on
his presidency, the government, the U.S. Constitution, states
rights, the Union, his war on the South, abolition, slavery,
colonization, African-Americans, Mexicans, mulattos, the
Confederacy, the Southern people, his Emancipation Proclamation,
Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, and more. This is an indispensable
work for those interested in the American Civil War, for without a
true and complete understanding of Lincoln one will never have a
true and complete understanding of the conflict itself. An
attractive, unique, affordable, and popular tourist-friendly work
that will appeal to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore Civil
War scholars alike, The Unquotable Abraham Lincoln is the perfect
addition to any retail outlet, including not only bookstores, but
Civil War sites, historic houses, museum gift stores, antique
shops, B&Bs, tack shops, motorcycle shops, and gun stores.
