Professor Martha Beck has new book published
Beck’s new book “The Quest For Wisdom In Plato and Carl Jung: A Comparative Study of the Healers of the Soul” was published this spring. Beck said the idea for the book came quickly but getting it on paper was quite a challenge. Time constraints made it hard for her to write the book. Beck said she received a grant to live with nuns at the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn. It was there she wrote the first draft of the book. She enjoyed her time there so much that Beck said she has returned to the college for the past five summers. More Regional Advisory Board meets on campus
