Butchers Crossing, English edition - Williams, John

In his National Book Award - winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.§§It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, up by Emerson to seek "an original relation to nature," drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

Der Meisterweg des Kybalion - Campobasso, Andreas

Das "Kybalion" gilt als eines der geheimnisvollsten Bücher der spirituellen Literatur. Der Bestsellerautor Andreas Campobasso hat das Kybalion zeitgemäß bearbeitet und eröffnet uns so einen kostbaren Zugang zu altem Wissen, das heute aktueller ist denn je. Das Kybalion ist das Grundlagenwerk zum tiefen Verständnis spiritueller Bestseller wie "Das Prinzip", "The Secret" oder "The Master Key". Das Kybalion führt den Leser in eine neue Dimension und auf eine höhere Bewusstseinsebene, die Meisterebene. Die hermetischen Überlieferungen, die im Kybalion präsentiert werden, sind die Wurzeln aller esoterischen Lehren weltweit. In jeder Generation gab es einige wenige Eingeweihte, die die heilige Flamme der hermetischen Lehren unterhielten, um das Licht der Wahrheit bei den Schülern zu entzünden, die dafür bereit sind. Nun ist die Zeit reif, dieses Licht in die Welt zu tragen zum Wohle des Ganzen: "Wohin die Schritte der Meister fallen, da öffnen sich weit die Ohren derjenigen, die bereit sind für ihre Lehre."

The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion - Egoscue, Pete

No one is immune. For people from champion athletes to desk-bound white-collar professionals, many simple acts of life--a relaxing evening stroll through the neighborhood, an exhilarating run along a sandy beach, just bending down to tie a loose shoelace-are often acts of torture. The walking wounded suffer from torn rotator cuffs, tennis elbow, jogger's knees, bad backs, stiff necks, sore feet, and swollen ankles. It could, without exaggeration, be called a modem epidemic.In this brilliant book, renowned anatomical functionalist Pete Egoscue identifies the epidemic's causes and effects. By recognizing that the human body is dependent on adequate motion to maintain its full range of physical functions, he has revolutionized both the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and the techniques for training athletes to achieve peak performance levels.Brimming with common sense

Roberto Burle Marx Nahson Claudia J.

The modernist parks and gardens of Brazilian landscape architect and garden designer Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) earned him awards, widespread acclaim, and international fame. Over a 60-year career, he designed more than 2,000 gardens worldwide, the most famous of which are those he created in collaboration with the architect Oscar Niemeyer for Brasilia. Although he is best known for his landscape work, Burle Marx was a prolific artist in a variety of media, and his larger body of work-which includes paintings, drawings, tile mosaics, sculpture, textile design, jewelry, theater costumes, and more-is critical to understanding his importance as a modernist. An avid horticulturalist, he was among the first to denounce deforestation in the Amazon region; he also discovered over thirty species of Brazilian flora, which bear his name. This beautifully illustrated and groundbreaking publication covers the full range of Burle Marx's artistic output, as well as his remarkable home, an abandoned estate that he transformed into his office, workshop, gallery, and living space. The enduring influence of Burle Marx's work is also explored through interviews with seven contemporary artists: Juan Araujo, Paloma Bosque, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Luisa Lambri, Arto Lindsay, Nick Mauss, and Beatriz Milhazes. These artists exemplify the extent to which his work continues to be a source of inspiration.
