After focusing on his career for many years, Jacob Gotwals felt increasingly drawn toward spirituality. A mysterious longing led him on a twelve-year journey of spiritual awakening on which he explored a vast landscape of traditions and teachings--including Nonviolent Communication and Tibetan Buddhism. Tricksters in the Desert is a concise memoir of this journey, revealing many of the challenges Jacob encountered and showing how he resolved them. The epilogue explores how we can participate in spiritual groups without getting enmeshed in them or attached to their belief systems.

Gilles Armand Rene Frenchy de Tremaudan worked as an animator and writer at the Walt Disney Studio during its peak years, and enjoyed an unusually long tenure, from 1930 to 1943. Inside the pages of this volume are the souvenirs he saved from this period, including photographs, gag sketches (by himself and other artists), and other mementoes, along with his autobiographical notes. As an added bonus, hundreds of frames selected from Frenchy's personal home movies have been included. These treasures provide a rare glimpse at life inside, and beyond, the walls of the Walt Disney Studio during its golden age.
