This book is both a beautiful and provocative collection of essays by a group of cultural theorists, psychologists, artists and mythologists writing under the dark shadow of 9-11. However, these writings are not about terrorism but about myth, soul and the depths of the imagination. Each author is a graduate of Pacifica Graduate Institute - a uniquely engaging and increasingly prestigious school in Santa Barbara, California where scholars explore culture, religion, mythology and psychology for clues to how human psyche finds its shape. Their dedicated and important mission is best expressed in Pacificas motto: animae mundi colendae gratia (for the sake of tending soul in and of the world).
