A Century of Sutton offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented change. Many aspects of Sutton's recent history are covered, famous occasions and individuals are remembered and the impact of national and international events is witnessed. A Century of Sutton provides a striking account of the changes that have so altered the town's appearance and records the process of transformation. Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs, this book recalls what Sutton has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also acknowledges the regeneration that has taken place and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they move through the first years of this new century.

Jung's early psychiatric writing shows the basis for a psychopoetics, i.e., a psychology founded explicitly on the making activities of the human mind. In Jung, however, this basis is obscured by an ambivalence in regard to the aesthetic. Berry considers this ambivalence by focusing on an event in Jung's personal life. During his period of breakdown and disorientation, Jung encounters an imaginary figure who tells him the work he is engaged in is art. Jung rejects this figure he calls "the aesthetic lady," maintaining that his concern is not art but nature. This dichotomy of art versus nature, imagination versus natural science, is paradigmatic throughout Jung's work. Subsequent chapters examine Jung's psychiatric case studies to show the interweaving of the scientific and the aesthetic, and to distinguish from this interweaving features fundamental for Jung's psychopoetic attitude. The characteristics of this attitude include techniques of likening, contrast, tension, a countering of the more literal with the less, and assumptions of thematic constancy, what Jung is later to call the primordial image, or archetype.

Working with Images is an indispensable volume for all those who are drawn to the mystery of soul and imagination. For the student of psychology, these essays sketch many of the formative ideas behind one of the most exciting and challenging psychological movements of our day. Benjamin Sells introduces readers to some of the essential essays that formed the theoretical basis of archetypal psychology, the radical post-Jungian movement initiated by James Hillman in the 1970s and later elaborated by Thomas Moore. Sells provides an overview of the field and then introduces each essay providing its context and significance. With essays by PATRICIA BERRY, HENRY CORBIN, GILBERT DURAND, WOLFGANG GIEGERICH, JAMES HILLMAN, THOMAS MOORE, and MARY WATKINS.

Epsom's early prosperity was based on its importance in Tudor times as a near neighbour of Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace and its development from the 17th century as a spa, following the discovery of water with medicinal properties on the Common. This work consists of photographs of Epsom.
