Still the Quintessential Jazz Primer
I've read many books on Jazz, but none have surpassed Ulanov's thorough yet very readable account of American Jazz history. They layout of the book from the opening chapter entitled "What is Jazz?" through the last chapter entitled "Evaluation" is full of seminal Jazz figures, listed in a cohesive chronological manner. Ulanov not only provides the reader with an evenly tempered insight on the subject of American Jazz, but the book contains a vast array of many of the artists triumphs, tragedies, and other interesting information. Written in 1952 it covers American Jazz from its inception through the beginnings of Cool Jazz. If you really want to improve your understanding of American Jazz and its history. This is the place to start.


Transforming Sexuality: The Archetypal World of Anima and Animus
Published in Paperback by Shambhala Publications (1994)

Average review score:

Extraordinary Exploration
The Ulanovs have created a remarkable exploration of the human psyche in regards to our sexual identities and relations. With numerous examples from literature and history, as well as case studies from their own practices, these two Jungian analysts draw vivid pictures of the damage and healing available to us through our "contrasexual" identity. The writing is dense to be sure, but readable, and the human truths expressed are understandable and familiar. Don't look for any simple, step by step answers here, though. The Ulanovs acknowledge the deep complexities of the human soul and the ultimate mysteries as well.

sublime spiritual direction
Having St. Alphonsus Liguori's "Conformity with the Will of God" and his "Way of the Cross" make such a pivotal impacts on my life, I was moved to read more by this Sainted Doctor of the Church. The Way of St. Alphonsus Liguori speaks to us plainly of God's Love and Will and all it entails for us. There are no medieval obscurities, only clear loving advice and sublime spiritual exercises.

On bringing anything & everything into prayer
Your anger at God, your fear that there is no God, your suspicion that prayer is just a bunch of superstitious nonsense--bring it all into prayer. With chapters like "Prayer and Aggression" and "Sexuality and Prayer," this book gives you permission and encouragement to be completely honest in prayer, to freely and fully express all that is on your mind and in your heart. The approach is psychological, but without _reducing_ prayer to psychology.

(If, like me, you have serious doubts that this world full of suffering has a God worth praying to, I also highly recommend Karl Rahner's "The Need and the Blessing of Prayer.")

Barry and Anna Ullanov's Primary Speech is a worthy addition to our understanding and much needed concrete experiences of prayer. It is a book about prayer but quickly brings the reader to identify with the struggle that prayer sometimes is. Once people begin to pray prayer quickly goes on the fast track, so to speak, of the known and unknown within us. Psychologically and spiritually speaking prayer does dwell in "primary speech." I was encouraged by this book because it confirmed and enlightened my own experience of prayer at a time when prayer is difficult and bewildering.

Primary Speech brings the reader and practitioner in prayer to some of the most essential elements of the prayer journey: accepting oneself, the courage to go deeper in prayer, not losing hope and becoming competent in exploring the unknown. The book does not get bogged down in jargon but goes directly to why prayer is natural to us and psychologically essential.

Perhaps we read a book when we most need it, never the less, this book speaks to the heart of the matter of prayer when you are most ready to listen.
