Her Perilous Journey
A young woman embarks on a voyage of discovery through three tumultuous decades of U.S. history. She faces perilous challenges¿her left wing mother, her right wing father, her Episcopalian confirmation class, her beatnik boyfriend, political assassinations, the Vietnam War, race riots, and the sexual revolution. And there are the men¿who are more or less successful in bed, who inspire and amuse her, use and reject her. In her hilarious, sometimes harrowing search for meaning in life in all the wrong places, our young heroine finally examines her life and finds it wanting. She prepares to set out on an even more perilous journey in the upcoming sequel.
Her Perilous Journey
Her Perilous Journey is the hilarious, sometimes harrowing story of Regina IV, the last in a long line of arrogant, dispossessed Southern women, born into troubled times. She is an adventurer, hungry to explore every nook and cranny of life, but finds herself desperate to escape a neglectful and brilliant mother. Her real father has disappeared--only his myth remains. Misguided and foolhardy, the young Regina sets out on her picaresque adventures. Will the beatnik Moriarity give her what she needs, or only make things worse? Will her husband's strange sexual appetites cure her of pursuing men? With acid wit, mixed with the bittersweet language of a wounded heart, Regina describes what it felt like to live through the tragic events of the sixties and seventies. She shares her wide-ranging encounters with the male species, quirky members of her generation, and a Native American spirit guide named Ramon. Her Perilous Journey is Book 1 of the "First Woman Trilogy," the unfolding story of a woman striving to make peace with herself, her culture, her country, and a stubborn, silent universe.

Facilitating Learning with the Adult Brain in Mind
Practical "brain-aware" facilitation tailored to the adult brain Facilitating Learning with the Adult Brain in Mind explains how the brain works, and how to help adults learn, develop, and perform more effectively in various settings. Recent neurobiological discoveries have challenged long-held assumptions that logical, rational thought is the preeminent approach to knowing.

Using stories, metaphors, and engaging illustrations to illuminate technical ideas, Taylor and Marienau synthesize relevant trends in neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind.

Buddhism through American Women's Eyes
The Buddha's path to human transformation declares women and men equally capable of spiritual realization, yet throughout history most exemplars of this tradition have been men. Now, as Buddhism is transmitted to the West, women are playing a major role in its adaptation and development. The conversation presented here takes place among experienced practitioners from many Buddhist traditions who share their thoughts on the Buddhist outlook, its practical application in everyday life, and the challenges of practicing Buddhism in the Western world. Thirteen women contribute a wealth of thought-provoking material on topics such as bringing Dharma into relationships, dealing with stress, Buddhism and the Twelve Steps, mothering and meditation, the monastic experience, and forging a kind heart in an age of alienation.
