Pages are clean and tight. 'True transformation happens amidst darkness and doubt but uncovering the brilliance that awaits you is worth the effort. The world needs you to shine your light brightly. Uncover Your Light explores the concept of how to shine brightly when you've lost touch with who you are. Whether you are struggling with a life transition, personal upheaval, or gradual detachment over time, the question is: How do you begin to find your true self again? Would you even know her if you bumped into the real you? This book is ideal for anyone who has come through the other side of a challenging situation with a deeper sense of self, realizing they can live an empowered life on their terms. Our coauthors have all faced the fear of not knowing where to start when the path seemed dark and unfamiliar. They want to provide a roadmap for others who are on similar journeys. These personal stories of hope and resilience are about being the best version of yourself, which is a profound act of self-love. Taking this journey of self-discovery will allow you to reconnect with the beauty and power that lies within: get to know her, love her, and celebrate her. Your radiant light is waiting to shine brightly, and to inspire those around you to do the same.' ; Signed by Author.

"Raising Lazarus is the rarest kind of book -- a candid memoir of desperate illness and uncertain healing that manages, without a trace of self-pity or the common swagger of the battlefield veteran, to be both riveting as a story and profoundly encouraging to other threatened human beings: which is to say, almost everyone alive. I don't know of a man or woman who couldn't learn from it." -- Reynolds Price. "A haunting story of a man's struggle to survive . powerful." -- Kirkus Reviews. "Sometimes, illness is a conduit through which we redefine our lives. Such is the case for forty -four-year-old Robert Pensack. "Mortality, like love, is something that can come to be known only by way of experience. Through a lifetime, I have been in the process of dying," he reflects in his riveting and evocative memoir. Raising Lazarus is a portrait of life that signals one man's defiance of death, and his physical and emotional resurrection. Through the extremes of Bob Pensack's existence, we come to consider and value the true wonder of the ordinary in our own lives. At age four Pensack lost his mother to HCM, an enigmatic cardiac condition, and at age fifteen was himself diagnosed with the disease, which has hannted a bloodline for three generations. Raising Lazarus chronicles Pensack's journey to overcome his failing body through the will of his mind and the strength of his soul. In order to save himself, he determines to become a doctor -- and his own best patient. But after undergoing multiple surgeries in his twenties -- one of which leaves a hole in his heart -- Pensack realizes he cannot become a surgeon. The training is far too taxing physically, and he is in a constant struggle with incapacitating fear and debilitating emotional disorders that result from the many horrors he has endured. Probing for the foundation of his mental instabilities, Pensack becomes a psychiatrist and reveals the intertwining of mind and body. He eventually surmises that "physical injuries are mere flesh wounds; it is the psychological terror bred in my past that is most lethal." Finally, Pensack must have a heart transplant in order to survive, and thus begins his agonizing wait for a donor heart, followed by the unimaginable consequences, both physical and psychological, of such an ordeal. Through this barbaric feat of modern medicine -- and moreover through the strength and support of his wife and children, who have joined him in the passing years -- Pensack comes to see the universality of life: how we are all connected, why it matters, and what is our potential. While waiting for a donor heart for transplant, Pensack met the writer Dwight Arnan Williams. After hundreds of hours of interviews, and having accompanied Pensack into the operating room for the transplant surgery itself, Williams collaborated further with Pensack to compose the narrative that traces the heroic journey of a man confronting the frailty and the preciousness of life." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Robert Jon Pensack, M.D. is a general practitioner and psychiatrist. He lives with his wife and children in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Dwight Arnan Williams is the recipient of the 1989 Jovanovich Award for short fiction. He too lives in Steamboat Springs.

Part of the reason is location, for New Guinea is a remote island the size of France and Italy combined, just east of Indonesia and hovering above Australia in the South Pacific. [.] The appeal of New Guinea art lies in its extraordinary resourcefulness and creativity. For centuries, the people there have made objects in order to communicate and interact with the spirit world. Many of the objects, based on myths and ancient religious themes, are the equal of many of the world's great sculptural masterpieces. Some were made in response to health, or fertility, or rites of passage; others signified an individual's stature in a village; and others invoked the end of a mourning ritual, or warded off evil and sickness. [.] The art of New Guinea can be seen in its fullest and richest depiction ever in this elegantly presented two-volume publication. More than 600 masterworks come from Marcia and John Friede, who have devoted decades to the study and pursuit of these works. {.]" CONDITION: Both volumes are fine in fine dust jackets. The slipcase is near fine with some rubbing and scratching at the bottom, along with a minor corner bump at the head at the back. A very, very nice set, worthy as a gift to any art collector, connoisseur or travel enthusiast.
