House As a Mirror of Self: Exploring the Deeper… di Clare Cooper Marcus
I enjoyed the stories of the people and their houses, some of which were so into their houses that they didn't have time for relationship(s) with other people. Others couldn't seem to find a house that contained everything within it that made it feel like a home so they were constantly moving from one place to the next in search of home.
A nicely done memoir of a retired professor's healing journeys post cancer. Marcus designs healing garden's and is articulate about her relationship with landscape.

A journey of healing takes Clare Cooper Marcus on a 6-month long solitary retreat to the remote Scottish Island of Iona.

Clare Cooper Marcus brings both a personal and academic life-long interface with place, environment and people. Her five previous books about human response to architecture and environment were popular with the public and well-received by the press. Iona Dreaming will reach out to a broad audience: people entering retirement, dealing with serious illnesses, gardeners, lovers of nature, architects and landscape architects, people who are becoming more heath conscious, women who have shared the social and cultural shifts she lived through--especially those coming of age in the 60's--and all those who seek a more authentic life.… (altro)
