Paperback. Condizione: Good. In a culture where many have become accustomed to looking outside of themselves for guidance, The Forgotten Body offers readers an opportunity to turn inside for the answers to questions about life and self. The author, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Program Director, shares the wisdom and insight garnered from her own journey of self-actualization that led her to the realization that mastery of one's mind can be most effectively attained through the rediscovery of one's physical body. With her own personal truths used as examples of the body's powers of wisdom, she urges readers to take them just as they are; her own truth, not the truth. The text follows a ground up approach beginning with the use of one's body as a foundation for self-discovery and proceeds skyward, leading the reader along a path that many will find parallel to their own life journeys. The Forgotten Body is not a rulebook or a rigid doctrine. It is simply a guide to the rediscovery of the simple and profound truths of one's own body. …

Did you know-- - It took more than an iceberg to sink the Titanic.- The Challenger disaster was predicted.- Unbreakable glass dinnerware had its origin in railroad lanterns.- A football team cannot lose momentum. - Mercury thermometers are prohibited on airplanes for a crucial reason.- Kryptonite bicycle locks are easily broken. Things fall apart is more than a poetic insight--it is a fundamental property of the physical world. Why Things Break explores the fascinating question of what holds things together (for a while), what breaks them apart, and why the answers have a direct bearing on our everyday lives. When Mark Eberhart was growing up in the 1960s, he learned that splitting an atom leads to a terrible explosion--which prompted him to worry that when he cut into a stick of butter, he would inadvertently unleash a nuclear cataclysm. Years later, as a chemistry professor, he remembered this childhood fear when he began to ponder the fact that we know more about how to split an atom than we do about how a pane of glass breaks. In Why Things Break, Eberhart leads us on a remarkable and entertaining exploration of all the cracks, clefts, fissures, and faults examined in the field of materials science and the many astonishing discoveries that have been made about everything from the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger to the crashing of your hard drive. Understanding why things break is crucial to modern life on every level, from personal safety to macroeconomics, but as Eberhart reveals here, it is also an area of cutting-edge science that is as provocative as it is illuminating. An engaging personal account not just of the physics and chemistry of materials but of the ethics, economics, and politics of innovation, with delightful bonuses on topics from the origins of 'ghostly' noises in old houses to the amazing coevolution of armor and armor-piercing projectiles. If it ain't broke, Mark Eberhart can tell you why--and explain equally well why a shatterproof world remains beyond our reach.--Edward Tenner, author of Our Own Devices and Why Things Bite Back I don't remember a book that has taught me so much, nor previously encountering a teacher like the marvelous Mark Eberhart, who in Why Things Break provides enlightening and thoroughly captivating scientific explanations of subjects ranging from the structural failures leading to the sinking of the Titanic to everyday, no-less-fascinating topics such as the reason why, even at the same temperature, winter days always seem so much colder in Boston than in Denver.--Richard Restak, M.D., author of Mozart's Brain and The Fighter Pilot Eberhart brings his insights to the reader by weaving personal anecdotes--from his childhood fear that cutting a stick of butter would release the energy of the atoms within to his arrival in Boston for an interview with MIT without a suitable winter coat--into a fascinating discussion of the forces that hold atoms and molecules together. A lively, unvarnished look at chemistry on the cutting edge. --Kirkus Reviews.…
