Previous owner's book plate on frontis. Frontis plate. 207 pages clean and tight. This picture of daily life in England, painted by Andre Parreaux, depicts the period between 1760 and 1810, from the accession of George III until, showing signs of definite and permanent insanity, he was forced to concede the regency to his son. The beginning of the reign was marked by the end of the Seven Years' War, a war which added Canada and part of Louisiana to the British possessions, wi ich were soon to be robbed of the `thirteen colonies' by the war of American Independence. Then, for more than twenty years, apart from the truce of the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, the French wars raged through Europe. In this tense atmosphere English life changed in the space of forty years more than it had done in two centuries. The small farmer with his precarious living was replaced by the big landowner. In the new industrial centres of Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool, James Watt reigned more surely than any mad king. The artisan stepped aside for the workman. Salaries rose. London expanded towards the North and the West, but in the centre there was still a confusion of colourful stalls and noisy taverns, of young girls, thieves and beggars - a world of which Dickens was to become one of the last witnesses. In the town as in the country people drank and danced and fought against their liver complaints. Puritanism became less rigid and the Anglican Church saw the birth of a score of dissident sects. The middle class held sway on the Exchange and grew in power. The way was open for the reign of Queen Victoria. Having been written by a Frenchman, quoting quite often from contemporary French documents, this book brings a specially original touch to an always lively subject. Size: 8vo. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First US edition. Yoga Self-Taught (originally titled J'apprends le yoga written in French). It was authored by the Belgian yoga instructor André Van Lysebeth and later translated into English by Carola Congreve. This copy is very good with one past owner's name on the lilac colored endpaper. Yoga Self-Taught focuses extensively on teaching a structured, step-by-step approach to classical Hatha Yoga, primarily drawing from the teachings of Swami Sivananda. The story goes that when André Van Lysebeth dsicovered Yoga in a book he was do enthralled that he loaded his car with his wife and children and drove from Belgium to India to meet with Swami Sivananda! He returned to his native Belgium and became one of the first Yoga instructors in the Western world. You will see how adept he was in performing the exercises as the book is well photographed showing him in all manner of positions. The book is uniquely famous for detailing the intermediate steps of postures, rather than just showing a finished pose. It breaks down over 200 exercises and variations while visually contrasting the "right" and "wrong" ways to practice. "1. The Core Asanas (Postures)The text guides you through fundamental postures designed to methodically stretch, strengthen, and balance the entire body. Key poses featured include: The Rishikesh Series: A core sequence of postures popularized by Swami Sivananda, which serves as the foundational structure for the book's physical practice. Headstand (Sirshasana): Detailed instructions on safely getting into inversions. Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana): Focused heavily on spinal alignment and the thyroid benefits.The Plough (Halasana): Aimed at maximizing flexibility in the spine.The Cobra (Bhujangasana) and The Locust (Shalabhasana): Traditional backbends to strengthen the posterior chain.Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana): Focused on a deep stretch for the hamstrings and lower back.2. Pranayama (Breathing Techniques)Van Lysebeth places heavy emphasis on the mechanics of the breath, noting that correct postures mean nothing without correct breathing.Complete Yogic Breath: He explicitly breaks down and instructs the combination of three breathing zones—abdominal, costal (ribcage), and clavicular (chest)—to teach the reader how to maximize lung capacity.Pranayama Foundation: Basic breath retention and control exercises intended to calm the nervous system.3. Holistic Health AspectsBeyond physical movement, the manual bridges the gap between active exercise and mental stillness. Step-by-Step Evolution: Poses are laid out progressively so a beginner can master a fractional part of an asana before attempting the full posture.Counter-indications & Safety: Van Lysebeth highlights the direct anatomical dangers of misaligned poses, identifying who should avoid certain positions. Diet and Lifestyle: The final sections incorporate yogic dietary principles and nutritional advice to complement the physical practice.". Yoga Institute photos of the author (illustratore). …
