In THE RETURN OF KING ARTHUR, Diana Durham deciphers the deepest meaning of the Arthurian myths as they relate to our modern lives, and in the process uncovers the reasons why they have held our fascination for so long. She explains how the quest for the Holy Grail is the story of the individual's path for wholeness, while the King Arthur legends represent a collective narrative of humanity. In this illuminating modern-day Jungian interpretation of an age-old story, Durham offers readers insights into how they can have a more satisfying existence by analyzing the key symbols from the intertwined Arthurian myths. Woven through the narrative are discoveries from her personal search for wholeness when she was living in association with a spiritual community and fully embracing a shared lifestyle. Her exploration of bow our modern lives can mirror the Grail quest and the court of King Arthur will enlighten and inspire readers fascinated by these ageless myths. 作者简介： DIANA URHAM is a writer
FREDERICKSBURG TO MERIDIAN "Gettysburg...is described with such meticulous attention toaction, terrain, time, and the characters of the various commandersthat I understand, at last, what happened in that battle.... Mr.Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and anovelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men andthe episodes that will influence the course of the whole war,without omitting items which are of momentary interest. Hisorganization of facts could hardly bebetter."-- Atlantic

This work presents the last fifty years of tumultuous MiddleEast history - told from the unique perspective of a former RussianPrime Minister and sometime spy Yevgeny Primakov. Part memoir, parthistorical account, "Russia and the Arabs" tells the story of thepast 50 years' developments in the Middle East from a Russian pointof view.

A History of Queensland is the first single volume analysis ofQueensland's past, stretching from the time of earliest humanhabitation up to the present. It encompasses pre-contact Aboriginalhistory, the years of convictism, free settlement and subsequenturban and rural growth. It takes the reader through the tumultuousfrontier and Federation years, the World Wars, the Cold War, thecontroversial Bjelke-Petersen era and on, beyond the beginning ofthe new millennium. It reveals Queensland as a sprawling, harsh,diverse and conflictual place, where the struggles of race,ethnicity, class, generation and gender have been particularlypronounced, and political and environmental encounters haveremained intense. It is a colourful, surprising and at timesdisturbing saga, a perplexing and diverting mixture of ferocity,endurance and optimism.
A war that started under questionable pretexts. A presidentwho is convinced of his country’s might and right. A military andpolitical stalemate with United States troops occupying a foreignland against a stubborn and deadly insurgency. The time is the 1840s. The enemy is Mexico. And the war is one ofthe least known and most important in both Mexican and UnitedStates history—a war that really began much earlier and whoseconsequences still echo today. Acclaimed historian David A. Clarypresents this epic struggle for a continent for the first time fromboth sides, using original Mexican and North Americansources. To Mexico, the yanqui illegals pouring into her territories ofTexas and California threatened Mexican sovereignty and security.To North Americans, they manifested their destiny to rule thecontinent. Two nations, each raising an eagle as her standard,blustered and blundered into a war because no one on either sidewas brave enough to resist the march into it. In Eagles and Empi

Why are Mexicans so successful in individual sports, butdeficient in team play? Why do Mexicans dislike living inskyscrapers? Why do Mexicans love to see themselves as victims, butalso love victims? And why, though the Mexican people traditionallyavoid conflict, is there so much violence in a country where manyleaders have died by assassination? In this shrewd and fascinating book, the renowned scholar andformer foreign minister Jorge Casta?eda sheds much light on thepuzzling paradoxes of his native country. Here’s a nation of 110million that has an ambivalent and complicated relationship withthe United States yet is host to more American expatriates than anycountry in the world. Its people tend to resent foreigners yet havemade the nation a hugely popular tourist destination. Mexicanindividualism and individual ties to the land reflect a desire toconserve the past and slow the route to uncertain modernity. Casta?eda examines the future possibilities for Mexico as itbecomes more diverse i

This book traces the history of Europe from the end of WorldWar II to 1992, the scheduled reunification of Western Europe. Itexamines the East European revolution of 1989 and the changes inthe Soviet Union, as well as assessing the aftermath of the ColdWar, the post-war period that most commentators feel has come to anend. The unification of Western Europe and the disintegration ofthe Soviet empire, the author argues, doesn't mark the end ofhistory, as some claim, but the beginning of another era, of a newEurope, one quite unlike, yet in some ways parallel to the Europethat presided over the world at the end of the previouscentury.

From 1915 to 1970, this exodus ofalmost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkersoncompares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples inhistory.
