ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Carl Jung can be seen as the prototypical ecopsychologist. Volume II of The Dairy Farmer's Guide to the Universe explores how Jung's life and times created the context for the ecological nature of Jungian ideas. It is an ecopsychological exercise to delineate the many dimensions of Jung's life that contributed to creation of his system - his basic character, nationality, family of origin, difficulties in childhood, youthful environment, period in Western culture, and his pioneering position in the development of modern psychology. Jung said every psychology is a subjective confession, making it important to discover the lacuna in Jung's character and in his psychological system, particularly in relation to Christianity. Archetypically redressing the lacuna leads to the creation of a truly holistic, integrated ecological psychology that can help us live sustainably on this beautiful planet.
Front Cover: Jung's relief carving on the side of his Bollingen Tower, a place he associated with Merlin. The inscription reads, "May the light arise, which I have borne in my body." The woman reaching out to milk the mare is Jung's anima as "a millennia-old ancestress." The image is an anticipation of the Age of Aquarius, which is under the constellation of Pegasus. The feminine element is said to receive a special role in this new eon. Jung imagined the inspiring springs that gush forth from the hoof prints of Pegasus, the "fount horse," to be associated with the Water Bearer, the symbol of Aquarius.
Volume II is to Volume I as Memories, Dreams, Reflections is to Man and His Symbols it makes the basic premises more convincing and understandable by illustrating how they evolved out of Jung's lived experience. It reveals the author's thoughts concerning a lacuna in Jung's system based on an analysis of his life from the perspective of attachment theory. The problem is immediately remedied by employing a particular archetype.(Publisher).

Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
