President of the Canadian Association of Herbal Practitioners and bestselling author of Dr. Terry Willard’s Encyclopedia of Herbs, Dr. Willard offers insight into why more and more people are becoming afflicted by auto-immune diseases and how to react. Vibrational medicine is a newly emerging model of medicine that takes into account the body’s electromagnetic, or life-force energies, which are also known in other cultures as chi, ki, or prana. While the recognition of such an energy force is not new, this book is the first to recognize vibrational medicine as an essential component in the treatment and recovery of auto-immune disorders. Using case studies from his twenty-five-year practice, Dr. Willard outlines the common patterns that lead to auto-immune syndromes like as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and allergies and explores the complex connection between the mind and the body. He also outlines how people can recover from auto-immune diseases using a combination of vibrational medicine, herbal remedies and mind-body therapies. Body Harmony How to Resist and Recover from Auto Immune Diseases offers long-term solutions for all those suffering from auto-immune-related illnesses. This book is the perfect resource for anyone who is interested in healing their immune systems and achieving optimum health. (August 2003)
In The Spirituality of the Body, Alexander Lowen provides a unique perspective about the nature of spirituality. Lowen views the body as the outer manifestation of the spirit and defines grace as the divine spirit acting within the body. For the healthy individual the divine spirit is experienced as the natural gracefulness of the body and is reflected in the person's behavior. In a healthy body, movement, feeling, and thinking are integrated in grace and harmony. This book includes body-psychotherapy techniques and exercises aimed at alleviating muscular tension and restoring the body's natural grace. This spiritual grace involves a sense of connectedness to a higher order. In this state of grace we feel a kinship with all living creatures, and recognize our connection to our environment and to the world.

This book presents a method of linking the ordered structure of the cosmos with human thoughts: the theory of language holography. In the view presented here, the cosmos is in harmony with the human body and language, and human thoughts are holographic with the cosmos at the level of language. In a word, the holographic relation is nothing more than the bridge by means of which Guanlian Qian connects the cosmos, human, and language. This is a vitally important contribution to linguistic and philosophical studies that cannot be ignored. The book has two main focus areas: outer language holography and inner language holography. These two areas constitute the core of the dynamic and holistic view put forward in the theory of language holography. The book’s main properties can be summarized into the following points: First and foremost, it is a book created in toto by a Chinese scholar devoted to pragmatics, theoretical linguistics, and philosophy of language. Secondly, the book was accepted by a top Chinese publisher and was republished the second year, which reflected its value and appeal. Thirdly, in terms of writing style, the book is characterized by succinctness and logic. As a result, it reads fluidly and smoothly without redundancies, which is not that common in linguistic or even philosophical works. Lastly, as stated by the author in the introduction, “Creation is the development of previous capacities, but it is also the generation of new ones”; this book can be said to put this concept into practice. Overall, the book offers a unique resource to readers around the world who want to know more about the truly original and innovative studies of language in Chinese academia.
In 1683 Gerard Audran published a work entitled "Les Proportions du corps humain mesures sur les plus belles figures de l'antiquite." The illustrations are of the most famous antique sculptures with careful measurements of each. This book reviews that work from the perspective of his contemporaries and subsequent commentators and translates his words into English as well as reprinting his original plates for the modern student, and providing some additional illustrations which help you to enjoy the plates on proportion."
