 | Believing Is Seeing by Mary A. Staniszewski
Why are the paleolithic Venus of Willendorf, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes, and Marcel Duchamp's ready-made urinal all considered works of art? Why, strictly speaking, is a Cindy Sherman photograph more art-like than a Da Vinci portrait? How did the painters and sculptors of the Renaissance see their creations? And who decides what art is today? In the tradition of Marshall McLuhan and John Berger, this learned and deliciously subversive book gives us a new way of seeing our artistic heritage. Believing Is Seeing is a work of multicultural scope and glittering intelligence that bridges the gulf between classical Japanese painting and the films of Spike Lee, between high theory and pop culture. Probing beyond the rhetorical surface of standard art histories and drawing on a panoramic array of illustrative material, Mary Anne Staniszewski throws a fresh light on individual works and the often mystifying criteria by which they are valued.

 | The Myth of Analysis by James Hillman
Acclaimed Jungian James Hillman has published over twenty books on a wide range of issues related to contemporary psychology. Writing on topics as diverse as emotion, the nature of power, psychoanalysis, and human development, Hillman has been praised for his insight, his wit, and his unflinching and honest approach to his subjects. His stature as one of the most popular and readable of those writing about psychology today is indisputable. In The Myth of Analysis, Hillman examines the concepts of myth, insight, eros, body, and the mytheme of female inferiority, as well as the need for the freedom to imagine and to feel psychic reality. By examining these ideas, and the role they have played both in and outside of the therapeutic setting, Hillman mounts a compelling argument that, rather than locking them away in some inner asylum or subjecting them to daily self-treatment, man's peculiarities' can become an integral part of a rich and fulfilling daily life. Originally published by Northwestern University Press in 1972, this work -- particularly the section On Psychological Femininity' -- had a profound impact on a nation emerging self-aware from the 1960s, as well as on the era's burgeoning feminist movement and has never been out of print. The Myth of Analysis remains a profound critique of therapy and the psychological viewpoint, and it is one of Hillman's most important and enduring works. AUTHOR: James Hillman
