Memories, Dreams, Reflections
C.G. Jung
Vintage
, 1989
Intensity-his mind was flooded with profound ideas

Aldo Leopold
Ballantine Books
, 1986
Leaving a light footprint on the good earth
I re-read Leopold's Sand County Almanac every couple of years or so. It's not just a beautifully poetic celebration of the land. Its defense of a new sense of moral responsibility to the environment, spelled out in the book's "The Land Ethic," is a bracing tonic ...

Neil Gaiman
Vertigo
, 1994
One of the best in the series!
To me, this is one of the best volumes in the series. It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a ...
