.Women, Family, and Utopia: Communal Experiments of the Shakers, the Oneida Community, and the Mormons (Utopianism and Communitarianism) by: Lawrence Foster 1992-01 Lawrence Foster, professor of history at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is well-known as one of the outstanding scholars working in the "New Mormon History." Specializing in the interpretation of the socio-cultural and religious contexts of gender relationships in the early nineteenth century, Foster's earlier book--Religion and Sexuality (Oxford University Press, 1981)--was a trailblazing work dealing with the Shakers, the Mormons, and the Oneida perfectionists. This newer study brings together Foster's already published essays on this subject, although they are much revised from the originals, and offers a thoughtful and in many cases provocative investigation into alternative lifestyles among early American communal groups. ...

.Religion and Sexuality: The Shakers, the Mormons, and the Oneida Community by: Lawrence Foster March 01, 1984 The answer is quite a lot, according to historian Lawrence Foster, a member of the history faculty at Georgia Tech, a former president of the Mormon History Association, and a longstanding friend and colleague in the study of the Mormon past. Foster begins his discussion of the marriage practices of these three groups by focusing on the larger milieu of antebellum American society. During that era virtually all of the institutions of humankind received serious scrutiny and some alteration. The most obvious example was the abolition of slavery in much of the Western World; of course it came to an end in the United States only because of the radical realignment of political power coming through the Civil War. But other institutions such as marriage ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Religion and Sexuality: The Shakers, the Mormons, and the Oneida Community |

.Fielding's Mexico: The Insider's Guide to Historic Places, Romantic Getaways and Unforgettable Adventures (Fielding's Mexico) by: Lynn V. Foster, Lawrence Foster 1997-11 I've used and enjoyed this guide since 1988. What other guide would have a detailed review of the Hotel Fontana del Mar. A small and clean Puerto Vallarta hotel that only charges $30-$40 a night. You won't find it in Fodor's. This guide was written by two PhDs and includes many historical and archaeological facts that can make your trip more interesting. >>See More Reviews & Details on Fielding's Mexico: The Insider's Guide to Historic Places, Romantic Getaways and Unforgettable Adventures (Fielding's Mexico) |

.The Secret Lives of Alexandra David-Neel: A Biography of the Explorer of Tibet and Its Forbidden Practices by: Barbara Foster, Michael Foster May 01, 1997 Alexandra David-Neel is reputed to be the first Western woman to reach the forbidden city of Lhasa, Tibet. She did so in 1924, a small woman in her mid-50s, disguised as a beggar and accompanied only by her adopted Tibetan son. This was the highlight of a life that lasted until 1969 when she died at age 100. As the authors point out, however, practically nothing can be said with surety about Mme. David-Neel. One biographer has even claimed that she fabricated the whole story of visiting Lhasa. Probably not -- although she fabricated a lot and was hardly of unimpeachable character. As a matter of fact, although the authors are very respectful of her, she seems a thoroughly selfish, self-centered and repellent person. David ...
