"Literally translated, Eros Over Logos means love over logic. In the context of this book, Eros represents not only love, but also the instinctual energy of the soul and the intelligent consciousness of the body in our resonance with the life-force; whereas Logos is equated with the "neck-up" activities of the mind and its attempt to make sense out of reality through conceptual interpretations. Eros Over Logos was written as a critique of a society that has developed largely through the exaltation of Logos and the repression of Eros-that values logic over love, the head over the heart, man over earth, technology over nature, and modern society over indigenous culture. As such, Eros Over Logos seeks to produce dents, cracks, ruptures and gashes in the consensual fabric of our wounded and wounding society so that a healing, or move towards wholeness, can occur"--Page 4 of cover.

When we or our loved ones fall ill, our world is thrown into disarray, our routines are interrupted, our beliefs shaken. David Morris offers an unconventional, deeply human exploration of what it means to live with, and live through, disease. He shows how desire—emotions, dreams, stories, romance, even eroticism—plays a crucial part in illness.

The nature of masculinity is a popular subject for contemporary authors, either treated critically from a sociological standpoint, or analysed from a psychological and spiritual perspective. In Remaking Men, David Tacey argues that we must strive to bridge the gap between these separate traditions - masculinity should neither be hijacked by the spiritual, Jung-influenced men's movement, nor discussed merely as a product of socio-political forces. Examining his own and other men's experience in a critical and lively discourse he evades the simplistic optimism of the 'inner journey' approach and the chronic pessimism of contemporary academic arguments. This is a fascinating and very accessible look at masculinity for those who want to explore self and society with intelligence and soul.
