In Women and Men in Renaissance Venice Stanley Chojnacki explores the central role played by women in holding Venetian patrician society together. Family relations, marriages, and dowries were the areas in which women interacted dynamically with men. The three parts of the book discuss the involvement of the state in those interactions; the social and economic consequences for women; and their unexpectedly varied consequences for men of the patriciate. The society Chojnacki describes is at once socially complex and highly regulated. On the one hand, women of the Venetian nobility, like patrician women in other cities, were subordinate to their fathers and husbands. But unlike their counterparts elsewhere, Venetian patrician women exercised much control over their own wealth and property and were key players in family strategies. Thanks to advantageous state regulations regarding dowries and marriage practices, Venetian women influenced their fathers' financial and social choices, which in turn affected their fathers' and husbands' attitudes and behavior toward them. Because limited family resources favored some daughters' marriage prospects at the expense of their sisters', the family and marriage practices of the Venetian nobles led to a range of vocations for women, as well as for men.

The ancient Celts had a secret. They knew that the ideal man should be samildanach, "complete and whole." The journey to achieve this goal was related mythically in the Grail legends. Now you can find the secrets of this journey in The Grail Castle by Kenneth Johnson and Marguerite Elsbeth. This amazing book blends the ancient myths with Carl Jung's insights into the nature of personality in men. He saw that there were four major categories of personality: Warrior-Hero; Lover; Magician-Wise Man; and King-Father. These were represented by the four treasures of the Grail myth. Jung also saw that the goal of the myth ó to obtain all of the treasures ó symbolized integrating the segmented personality into a healthy whole. This process can be accomplished through years of work with a Jungian analyst. Or you can do the work yourself, using the meditations, rituals, and shamanic practices in The Grail Castle. First, you will take some simple tests to find out which archetype is most prevalent in your personality. You'll learn how living with this influences everything you do. The goal of your journey is not to quiet this influence, but to passionately arouse all of the archetypes Then, you can unite them, and be born again as a whole, integrated person. If you are a man, this book is a must. It will show you the keys to breaking down barriers to personal development. If you are a woman, you'll want this book so you can learn how to better nurture and encourage the men in your life. Get this book today.
