Margaret Berrill's Books

A monumental work by an important modern philosopher, Matter and Memory (1896) represents one of the great inquiries into perception and memory, movement and time, matter and mind. Nobel Prize-winner Henri Bergson surveys these independent but related spheres, exploring the connection of mind and body to individual freedom of choice. Bergson's efforts to reconcile the facts of biology to a theory of consciousness offered a challenge to the mechanistic view of nature, and his original and innovative views exercised a profound influence on other philosophers--including James, Whitehead, and Santayana--as well as novelists such as Dos Passos and Proust. Matter and Memory is essential to an understanding of Bergson's philosophy and its legacy.

First published in 1958, these are the memoirs of Margaret Chanler Aldrich, a descendant of the prominent Astor family. A nurse for the American Red Cross during the Spanish-American War, and later the Philippine-American War, Aldrich joined the woman’s suffrage movement and became notable as one of Carrie Chapman Catt’s capable officials in the campaign for suffrage in New York State. A fascinating autobiography!

The idea for this book was presented to me March 15, 1995. It came off the press December 1995. That made this book my baby and I didn't have one labor pain while it was being delivered. Everyone says it reads so easily. It was almost like it was meant to be. I self financed all 5500 and only have three left. I never asked anyone to buy a book. I carry a business card that says "Sales, promotions and Freelance Writer." When I hand that out, without fail the person will say 'What kind of things do you write?" When I tell them about the book they will say "Where can I get one" and I say "Oh, I just happen to have them in the trunk of my car." Now as far as I know through personal sales the books are in 38 states of the USA plus three in Germany, one each in Canada, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, China, Belize, Scotland and the latest one in Wales.
