"Art is the flower, life is the green leaf" Charles Rennie Mackintosh Haphazard bunches, formal bouquets, chance arrangements, quiet and thoughtful rural encounters The Book of the Flower is a sylvan collection of beautiful depictions of flowers by artists, photographers, and illustrators. Interspersed through the illustrations are short texts about the artists and their interest in particular flowers, from Georgia O'Keeffe's sumptuous close-ups of Jimson Weed and cactus flowers to Matisse's roses, Keika Hasegawa's chrysanthemums, and Albert York's close study of zinnias. A wonderful collection for art-lovers, gardeners, and flower-fanciers.

A milestone in the study of culture from the father of structural anthropologyThis watershed work records Claude L vi-Strauss's search for "a human society reduced to its most basic expression." From the amaz0n basin through the dense upland jungles of Brazil, L vi-Strauss found the societies he was seeking among the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and Tupi-Kawahib. More than merely recounting his time in their midst, Tristes Tropiques places the cultural practices of these peoples in a global context and extrapolates a fascinating theory of culture that has given the book an importance far beyond the fields of anthropology and continental philosophy. The author's fresh approach, sense of humor, and openness to the sensuous mystique of the tropics make the scientific thrust of the book eminently accessible.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the bes

My Mission, and the Pilates-Walk? goal is to give you lots of helpful information and exercise tips so that you can find and use the right muscles when you walk. Walking is one of the best whole-body wellness activities (when your form is good). But with poor posture and bad body mechanics even a leisurely stroll can leave you feeling worse instead of better. To help you maximize the benefits of your walking technique, I’m going to share with you some simple common-sense strategies and exercises that I’ve found helpful for myself and my Pilates clients to fine-tune their form to get more of the right muscles working to walk well. Everybody walks! Whether walking is a part of your workout routine, or just something you to do get you from one place to the next, how your body is moving directly relates to how it feels.
