The Long Shore: A Psychological Experience of the Wilderness

The historic Hollister ranch — 39,000 acres in Santa Barbara County, California — belonged to the authors family for more than 100 years, until 1961 when the family was forced to subdivide & sell the property. This book is a tribute to those once-wild lands & an evocative contribution to our understanding of the psychological & philosophical importance of all wilderness. This unusual collaborative work by a mother daughter — both Jungian analysts raised on the ranch — blends childhood memories, journal excerpts, & rich insights to reveal just how deeply humanitys psyche is rooted in the natural world.
