1--An Historical Note




In 1990, I self-published this 8 x 10 booklet of forty pages and titled it Managing Feelings: An Owner's Manual for Men. There are still a few copies floating around. I soon became tired of marketing and selling and sent a copy to Health Communications, Inc., a publisher in Florida. They published it as Men and Feelings: Understanding the Male Experience, using exactly the same text. See an image of the cover below:
 


Here's the result of the second incarnation. It was released in 1991 and is my first published work The Health Communications edition is small: 4 x 6 and 102 pages. It sold fairly well, approximately 15,000 copies. It is curently hard to find/out of print.

The text of these books formed the foundation for Nothing's Wrong: A Man's Guide to Managing His Feelings, significantly updated and expanded, written 14 years later.

(Live links are in the left-hand column at the top.)

The Raincoast Conservation Foundation focuses its efforts on the beautiful coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada.

The Raincoast Conservation Foundation is a non-profit research and public education organization. We work with scientists, First Nations, government and non-governmental organizations to build support for decisions that protect marine and rainforest habitat on BC’s central and north coast.

Pachamama has a commitment both to develop tangible, real-life projects through which rainforests provide more direct economic benefit standing than cut as well as to broaden the general economic view so that the value of standing rainforests and the costs associated with their destruction are measured and counted. Our work takes place in two distinct program areas: social and economic development projects in the South and education and awareness building in the North.

The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion is dedicated to the development of enlightened leadership around issues of religion and sexuality through education; to presenting a new public voice in the debate over sexual identity through media outreach and coalition building; to the encouragement of new, creative scholarship on the interrelations of religion and sexuality / sexual orientation; and to the production and dissemination of innovative resources for the academy, faith communities, and the general public.
