This sweet little novella is about a cow that desparately wanted to be the most milk producing cow of the season. She wanted to wear the crown and lead the parade, but she was weak and never produced enough milk to win the coveted prize. One year, she stops at the shrine of Ludmilla and prays to be the chosen cow.

The story of a scrawny, unproductive but pure-hearted cow in Lichtenstein -- her name is Weakling -- who desperately wants to produce enough milk to set the record and march at the head of the parade at the end of milking season. At the request of the local priest, Saint Ludmila intercedes for Weakling and the entire country celebrates the miracle.

A very gentle, touching novelette which would be suitable for all ages. I think of myself as a quite unsentimental person, but it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and nearly brought tears to my eyes

The Stranger in the Mirror: Dissociation--the Hidden Epidemic

*1954 Third Printing

In 1948 three Frenchmen and a Colombian, all under thirty, undertook to cross from Venezuela to Brazil. By 1950 they had completed the hazardous voyage, covering thousands of miles of the Orinoco and the Amazon in Indian dugout canoes. They are the first white men ever to join the Amazon across the famous Sierra Parima. In addition to the almost incredible physical hardships to be overcome, there was constant danger from tribes, whose custom was to kill any strangers on sight. Completely unarmed, the expedition won the cooperation of most of these people through friendship, faith, and (most startling instrument of diplomacy) a symphony of Mozart's played on a portable phonograph. They returned with extremely valuable anthropological material, striking and dramatic photographs (many of them included in this book), and one of the most exciting adventure stories of our day."

“The quilts are beautiful, the faces worn but kind . . . the insights affecting.” —New York Times Book Review “The women who speak through the book shared a vision, a strength, and a spirit that few of us will ever know or understand.” —Christian Science Monitor “You can’t always change things. Sometimes you don’t have no control over the way things go. Hail ruins the crops, or fire burns you out. And then you’re just given so much to work with in a life and you have to do the best you can with what you’ve got. That’s what piecing is. The materials is passed on to you or is all you can afford to buy . . . that’s just what’s given to you. Your fate. But the way you put them together is your business. You can put them in any order you like.” —Mary White, from the Introduction First published in 1977, The Quilters chronicles the lives and quilts of pioneer women of Texas and New Mexico at the turn of the twentieth century. Compelling black and white portraits of the women accompany their moving oral histories, while thirty-six color photographs showcase the quilts. This award-winning book was the basis of the Broadway play Quilters, nominated for seven Tony Awards. Patricia Cooper taught at the University of California at Berkeley until her death in 1987.

This is the inspirational story of how one couple ditched their careers and high-pressure life in New York City to move to rural New Mexico, where they made, built, invented, foraged, and grew all they needed to live self-sufficiently, discovering a new sense of value and abundance in the process. Alongside their personal story are tips and tutorials to guide readers in the discovery of a fulfilling new lifestyle that relies less on money. Tremayne wholeheartedly believes that everyone has the skill, imagination and creativity to make it work.

Tremayne not only teaches the art of making biofuel, appliances, structures, gardens, food, and medicine but also presents reasons for makers to share their innovations and ideas through open source and creative commons licenses. She shares the joys of creating out of waste, home manufacture, and reconnecting with nature, and she teaches readers how to live off the grid. Practical, contemplative, and action-oriented, The Good Life Lab is the manual for life in a post-consumer age.

In addition, The Good Life Lab is filled with illustrations contributed by a community of artists -- Alethea Morrison, Allegra Lockstadt, Andrew Saeger, Bert van Wijk, Christopher Silas Neal, Gina Triplett, Grady McFerrin, Joel Holland, Josh Cochran, Julia Rothman, Kate Bingaman Burt, Katie Scott, Kristian Olson, Mattias Adolfsson, Meg Hunt, Melinda Beck, Miyuki Sakai, Rachel Salomon, and Sasha Prood -- making the book itself a work of art.

The Smyth-sewn binding style is the highest-quality book binding available. It is more durable than a glued binding and lets the book open flat, making it easier to read. The Good Life Lab has an exposed spine so that readers can appreciate and understand how the object was made.

An extraordinary new look at the world's most beloved Impressionist, this catalogue examines some of the artist's most important paintings, including the famed Giverny canvases, the iconic haystacks, and the Rouen cathedral series. Many rarely seen works are also featured and illustrate Monet's enduring ties to the Norman region. It was in Normandy that Monet began his painting career, and it was there that he met his first great mentor, Eugène Boudin. Monet developed a deep affection for the region. He would return time after time to depict its dramatic coastline, picturesque villages, and seaside resorts. Normandy has been a source of inspiration for artists over the centuries, and the catalogue puts Monet's work in context with those who came before—Corot, Millet, Courbet, Whistler, and Boudin—and his fellow revolutionaries—Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas.Featuring more than sixty master works, Monet in Normandy marks one of the largest Impressionist exhibitions to be on view in the United States. Illuminating the essays are works by other great contemporaries such as Pissarro, Morisot, and Degas.

In pictorial DJ with color photographic reproduction of Jane Fonda and black titles on cover and spine, as issued. Presents “more than the best exercise program for women. It offers a whole new approach to health and beauty. Jane Fonda’s philosophy of physical well-being, which she has incorporated into her own life, will change forever the way you think about and treat your body. This is a program that will not only make you look and feel terrific, it will also give you more energy and endurance and enable you to cope with the stresses and demands of the world around you” (Publisher’s blurb). After years of being ostracized as “Hanoi Jane” for going to Vietnam and speaking in their political struggle’s favor, Jane Fonda stunned everyone by reinventing herself as a fitness guru, finding what can only be described as phenomenal success with her Workout Regimen, which approached the problems of the female body (from beauty to health to aging) from a more holistic standpoint. This book sold millions of copies and spawned hundreds of imitators. None of them has equalled much less surpassed Jane Fonda’s pioneering example.

George Ohsawa, born Nyoichi Sakurazawa (1893-1966) was the founder of the Macrobiotic diet and philosophy.He was born into a poor samurai family and had no money for higher education. Around this time is when his spiritual path started. Around 1913 he met up with Nishibata Manabu and studied with him in Tokyo in the movement Shoku-yo Kai. Ohsawa claims he cured himself from tuberculosis at age 19 using what he knew about the ancient yin-yang concepts . Later he travelled to Europe and started spreaingd his philosophy . After several years he returned to Japan to start a foundation, and gather recruits for his now formalized philosophy. After drawing attention to himself during World War II for his pacifist ideals, he wrote a book which predicted Japan's defeat and was incarcerated, narrowly escaping death for his views. After being freed from prison by U.S. General McArthur, he moved his institution to a remote area in the mountains of Yamanashi prefecture. . Several of his Japanese disciples were also instrumental in disseminating Macrobiotics in the West.While in France Ohsawa wrote a number of books in French related to the Macrobiotic world view. Among them were "L'Ere Atomique", The Atomic Age, written during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His motivation the looming possibility of atomic war. He devoted considerable time to explaining his views regarding social problems, and causes of war and how Macrobiotics can help bring about a world in which war will be seen as an outcome of an error of judgment. Students Herman Aihara, Roland Yasuhara,Tomio Kikuchil, Clim Yoshimi, Michio Kushi, and Noburo Muramoto, a Japanese native who became head of the Tokyo Macrobiotic Center

Fundamentals Of Yoga (1969)

*Vintage 1972, has cover wear and age discoloration. Pages are clean-no markings and binging is tight.

Books, audiotapes, and classes about yoga are today as familiar as they are widespread, but we in the West have only recently become engaged in the meditative doctrines of the East--only in the last 70 or 80 years, in fact. In the early part of the 20th century, it was the pioneering efforts of keen scholars like W. Y. Evans-Wentz, the late editor of this volume, that triggered our ongoing occidental fascination with such phenomena as yoga, Zen, and meditation. Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines --a companion to the popular Tibetan Book of the Dead , which is also published by Oxford in an authoritative Evans-Wentz edition--is a collection of seven authentic Tibetan yoga texts that first appeared in English in 1935.

In these pages, amid useful photographs and reproductions of yoga paintings and manuscripts, readers will encounter some of the principal meditations used by Hindu and Tibetan gurus and philosophers throughout the ages in the attainment of Right Knowledge and Enlightenment. Special commentaries precede each translated text, and a comprehensive introduction contrasts the tenets of Buddhism with European notions of religion, philosophy, and science. Evans-Wentz has also included a body of orally transmitted traditions and teachings that he received firsthand during his fifteen-plus years of study in the Orient, findings that will interest any student of anthropology, psychology, comparative religion, or applied Mahāyāna Yoga. These seven distinct but intimately related texts will grant any reader a full and complete view of the spiritual teachings that still inform the life and culture of the East. As with Evans-Wentz's other three Oxford titles on Tibetan religion, which are also
appearing in new editions, this third edition of Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines features a new foreword by Donald S. Lopez, author of the recent Prisoners of Tibetan Buddhism and the West .
