Into the Heart's Land: A Century of Rudolf Steiner's Work in North America Henry Barnes

Henry Barnes, the author of A Life for the Spirit, brings us a comprehensive view of the roots and development of Anthroposophy throughout North America. From its seminal beginnings with a few hearty souls in New York City, it moved across the prairies to the west coast and beyond, to Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii, and took root in the hearts and minds of the "new world." Here is the story of those adventurous spirits who took responsibility for bringing the work of Rudolf Steiner to North America in the form of study groups, agricultural initiatives, Waldorf and special education, the arts, and so much more. This thorough history will acquaint the reader with the individuals who have nurtured Anthroposophy in North America as well as the organizations and initiatives they developed.
