Heel goed
Een boek dat er niet als nieuw uitziet en is gelezen, maar zich in uitstekende staat bevindt. De kaft is niet zichtbaar beschadigd en het eventuele stofomslag zit nog om de harde kaft heen.

Reviews
Alison Falby was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1972. In 2000, she received her doctorate in Modern History at Oxford University. She currently teaches and studies at the Faculty of Divinity, Trinity College, at the University of Toronto. Gerald Heard is the best kept secret of the 20th century. He changed the course of my life, and the lives of countless others, including Aldous Huxley's. Somehow, however, he didn't receive the attention that was due him. Alison Falby's new biography goes a long way toward correcting that oversight. - Huston Smith, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Syracuse University. Between the Pigeonholes: Gerald Heard is the first comprehensive, critical assessment of Heard's life and philosophy. It is thorough in its scope, exhaustive in its depth, and painstakingly researched. It covers all of Heard's major influences including his domestic upbringing, scholastic career, and interactions with his contemporaries. It accurately charts the progressive development of his ideas and places them in the context of the dominant thought of his day. It reveals Heard as a significant and influential, albeit neglected thinker who made notable contributions in several fields. Kudos to Professor Alison Falby for producing an immensely absorbing and resoundingly authoritative biographical study of Gerald Heard. - John Roger Barrie, Literary Executor of Gerald Heard

Synopsis
Aldous Huxley described Gerald Heard as that rare being-a learned man who [made] his mental home on the vacant spaces between the pigeonholes. Heard's off-beat interests made him a cultural and intellectual pioneer on both sides of the Atlantic in the middle decades of the twentieth century. Despite accolades from such figures as E.M. Forster, who characterized him as one of the most penetrating minds in England, and Christopher Isherwood, who described him upon his death as one of the few great magic mythmakers and revealers of life's wonder, Heard is largely unknown today. Between the Pigeonholes is the first published full-length study of Gerald Heard. Alison Falby examines Heard's ideas and contexts in interwar Britain and postwar America, demonstrating his significance in several important twentieth-century movements. These movements include popular science and psychology, psychical research, Eastern spirituality, pacifism, cooperativism, and Californian counter-culture. All of Heard's involvements expressed his desire to convey religious ideas in the modern languages of biological, social, and physical science. Falby also traces Heard's shifting political leanings from left-liberal in the early-1930s to libertarian in the early-1960s. She finds that his modernist theological approach, conventionally associated with liberal religion and politics, provided spiritual fodder for those on both the Left and the Right: Isherwood and W.H. Auden on the one hand, and Clare Boothe Luce and Spiritual Mobilization on the other. Using Heard as a prism through which to examine popular ideas, Falby shows that the twentieth century contained much political and religious heterogeneity. This heterogeneity illustrates the diverse and overlapping roots of both liberal religion and conservative politics in the twenty-first century., Gerald Heard is the best kept secret of the 20th century.
