Diana in Search of Herself is the first authoritative biography of one of the most fabled women of the century. Even those who knew Princess Diana will be surprised by author Sally Bedell Smith's insightful and haunting portrait of Diana's inner life.
For all that has been written about Diana--the books, the commemorative magazines, the thousands of newspaper articles--we have lacked a sophisticated understanding of the woman, her motivations, and her extreme needs. Most books have been exercises in hagiography or character assassination, sometimes both in the same volume. Sally Bedell Smith, the acclaimed biographer, former New York Times reporter, and Vanity Fair contributing editor, has written the first truly balanced and nuanced portrait of the Princess of Wales, in all her emotional complexity.
Drawing on scores of interviews with friends and associates who had not previously talked about Diana, Ms. Smith explores the events and relationships that shaped the Princess, the flashpoints that sent her careening through life, her deep feelings of unworthiness, her view of men, and her perpetual journey toward a better sense of self. By making connections not previously explored, this book allows readers to see Diana as she really was, from her birth to her tragic death.
Original in its reporting and surprising in its conclusions about the severity of Diana's mental-health problems, Diana in Search of Herself is the smartest and most substantive biography ever written about this mesmerizing woman.

And, here is the summary from the back cover to replace the current *tells you nothing* summary.
In this powerful book we enter the world of Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America fired with dreams of wealth, freedom, and opportunity. And we discover, with him, the astonishing truth about "Packingtown," the busy, flourishing, filthy Chicago stockyards, where new world visions perish in a jungle of human suffering. Upton Sinclair, master of the "muckraking" novel, here explores the workingman's lot at the turn of the century: the backbreaking labor, the injustices of "wage-slavery," the bewildering chaos of urban life.
The Jungle, a story so shocking that it launched a government investigation, recreates this startling chapter of our history in unflinching detail. Always a vigorous champion on political reform, Sinclair is also a gripping storyteller, and his 1906 novel stands as one of the most important -- and moving -- works in the literature of social change.

Also publisher needs to be added - Crown Publishers, Inc.
The Psychic World of Bishop Pike is traced here from his early years to his death - and even beyond - by the country's most notable parapsychologist, Hans Holzer. According to Psychic Magazine, Holzer is "at the top of the list in the popular field" in dealing with psychic research subjects. From personal interviews with the late Bishop and on-the-spot investigations of psychically active places where he has undergone his experiences, Hans Holzer has written a convincing, highly dramatic account of the Bishop's encounters with the world of spirits and ghosts as well as communication beyond the grave.
In this firsthand report by a scientifically trained investigator we learn for the first time of Bishop Pike's early repression and rejection of extrasensory perception, his continuing involvements with such matters - seemingly against his wishes - as well as the traumatic experiences of direct contact with this dead son, James Jr., and his gradually growing conviction that death is not the end. Most of this material has never been published, not even by the Bishop himself.
Even before sudden death came to James Pike in the desert, psychics all over the world started to come forth with their impressions of the Bishop's strange disappearance and violent demise. Hans Holzer here analyzes this material, most of which came from mediums and psychic people working exclusively with him. A challenging picture of death under mysterious circumstances and the possibility of foul play emerges from these disturbing psychic reports: Hans Holzer puts them together and presents the psychic evidence, pointing out that things may not have been what they seemed at first.
Finally, in a dramatic confrontation, the author makes contact with the spirit of Bishop himself through the trance mediumship of eminent medium Ethel Johnson Meyers.
The Psychic World of Bishop Pike is a unique account that only the author could have written, for he knows intimately both Bishop Pike's world and the psychic world as well.
Hans Holzer had also worked with Bishop Pike in making a documentary film about the Bishop's parapsychological experiences which will be shown nationally in the spring of 1970.
He is the author of sixteen books on extrasensory perception and psychic subjects, a university lecturer and television personality as well as a trained journalist and historian.
