Description

The Upstart Spring: Esalen and the Human Potential Movement: The First Twenty Years"The first responsible account of an important, uniquely American happening worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to piece together the social undercurrents of the '60s" Robert Marquand, Christian Science Monitor "A charming, gossipy multiple biography of the curious gurus who spawned Esalen . . . a complex story, but a sequential one nonetheless, with feuds and psychic shoot outs, games of capture the flag and smell the roses." Arthur Hough, San

"The first responsible account of an important, uniquely American happening - worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to piece together the social undercurrents of the '60s"
--Robert Marquand, Christian Science Monitor

"A charming, gossipy multiple biography of the curious gurus who spawned Esalen . . . a complex story, but a sequential one nonetheless, with feuds and psychic shoot-outs, games of capture the flag and smell the roses."
--Arthur Hough, San Francisco Chronicle

"Upstart Spring tells Esalen's riveting, unfinished story - even-handedly, entertainingly, with sympathy, and yet holding little back."
--David Toolan, Commonwealth

"An absolute delight: brimming with juicy gossip, and as carefully crafted as a page-turner novel. And it has substance, the gift of a therapist who also happens to be a cultural historian with a good eye for the telling meta-detail."
--Sandy McDonald, New Age Journal

"Walt Anderson has the requisite experience, humor, and affection (if not detachment, since Esalen teaches, indeed proves, that detachment is a universal impossibility) to carry off a wonderful account."
--Stewart Brand, Co-Evolution Quarterly

"A wonderful read, consistently entertaining on several levels."
--Michael Rossman, Associate for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter

"A superb wrap-up of a notable influence on our popular culture." --Rita Fink, Pacific Sun

Nice little jewelry box
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
Just what I wanted in size and available compartments. The only thing I am hesitant about is the paper outside. Mine is white and may get dirty quickly.

Great jewelry box for travel
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
Great jewelry box for travel. Especially if you like to take a lot of jewelry to use with your outfits. It's small enough to not take up a lot of room buttholes a good amount of jewelry.

Great product, roomy, well made
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
Love this! Bought a second one. It is sturdy with a lot of protection in the hard case. I expected the case to be soft, but as I think of it, I am happy that it is hard shelled on the outside in order to protect the items inside. The case also has tons of room. I will keep my most-used jewelry packed in it and just grab this case when I travel. Prior to ordering this, I ordered another brand and I am SO happy that I returned that one. It was flimsy, cheaply made and not functional. This is great - looks expensive, well made, velvet lined, plenty of room. This is a bit on the larger side, but completely functional to put into a suitcase. It is organized well, too. My only suggestion for the makers is that the inside dividers could be secured better (they move around a bit) and if they wanted to hit it out of the park, they could actually offer additional dividers for that section (since the sections are fairly large, they could be divided further). However, all in all, this is a great travel organizer and a good value!
