America�s �Big Steel� gave birth to Gary in 1906; when the United States Steel Corporation established a plant in Indiana along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. The new city on the lake attracted thousands of job seekers from the coalfields and factories in the East to far-off lands in southern and eastern Europe. As they settled in Gary; immigrant groups established communities; built churches and schools; and instilled in their children the values of hard work; strong faith; and cultural traditions. Images of America: Gary�s Glen Park looks back at the southern neighborhood of �Steel City� from its birth to the early 1970s. Each chapter looks at a specific part of the area�s history; such as the neighborhood; local businesses; memorable events; and people. Other chapters focus on the foundations of any community: the churches and schools.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. perhaps the most enlightening book I have ever read!By StevenI dont have to understand everything in the book to be aware that I was given many great insights. There are lots of things I always wondered about in my own life; and Jung and Jaffe provided many answers to how things fit together. My own myth about God and the unseen realm has been greatly augmented. Please read!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Thank god its back in printBy AnonymousThis fabulous memoir goes out of print and then; sometimes; re-emerges in a later edition. I hate it when I cannot find a copy; as I want to give it to many people I know. I gave the most recent edition as a gift to an erudite friend; because I read the book thirty years ago and still recall how deeply affected I was by the book. The book is not psycho-babble or even a tome about Jungian psychology; rather; its deeply personal; incredibly creative; and spiritual in a way that does not gag one. I highly recommend this book; and the new cover is sharp; too.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. An accident turned into an obsessionBy NikkiI was at my local library looking for serious books on dreaming. I was sick of all the flimsy material I was reading and wanted to find out what the big thinkers thought about the subject. This book came up in my library search and I picked it up thinking it would be a book about what a psychologist thought about dreaming - in all honesty I didnt know anything about Jung or had read any of his material. I started reading this book and found out I had picked up his memoirs; which was really disappointing for me as I dont generally like reading autobiographies of any kind - but I simply couldnt put the book down! The imagery of his language drew me in; and a simple sentence was enough to set me into a train of thought that could last for hours on end - it has simply been the most amazing book I have ever accidentally read so I had to buy it! This is not a book for anyone looking for hard facts about anything; but rather an exploration of this mans amazing life. The way he is able to weave the stories of his life together without sounding mystical; over analytical or insane is absolute genius. If you are caught up in the mysteries of the world and are looking for someone to identify with; then you cant go past the life of Jung.
