This is a moving book. A guide for parents as well as young people, it recounts in detail the almost magical way in which babies evolve from the very moment that fertilization occurs. Thanks to new technological advances, today it is possible to visualize and re-create images of what happens inside a woman's body when
a sperm travels through the uterus and the gelatinous membrane that surrounds the egg. Incredible photos show, day by day, how the embryo evolves, when the heart begins to beat, and even when the brain, eyes, legs, arms, mouth, and teeth are formed. This book contains a wealth of information, with photographic details that show you the inside of the body from a totally new viewpoint.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Все мы рисуем. С тех самых пор, когда к нам в руки впервые попал карандаш. Одни сделали это профессией; другие - любимым занятием, хобби; третьи, к коим относится и Ваш покорный слуга, малюют на бумаге всякие рожицы, или автомобили, или самолеты, кому что нравится. Часто вполне бездумно, когда мысли витают где-то далеко. Это уже своего рода рефлекс. Надеюсь, книга понравится и первым, и вторым, и третьим. Потому что все мы рисуем.

The 1990s saw the dramatic rise of spectacular forms of body modification, which included the tattoo renaissance and the rise in body piercing, the emergence of neo-tribal practices like scarification and flesh hanging, and the invention of new, high-tech forms of body art like subdermal implants. This book, based on years of interviews with body modifiers throughout the United States, is both sympathetic and critical and provides the most comprehensive look at this phenomenon. From punk rock to “modern primitives,” from queer sadomasochism to cyberpunks, sociologist Victoria Pitts provides insight into the full range of body modification subcultures. Whether by turning themselves into female punks, neo-tribal “primitives” or science fiction cyborgs, body modifiers are engaged in the project of “reclaiming” their bodies from the machine of modern life. Pitts explores the connections between body modification and contemporary struggles over sex and gender, and widespread attitudes about identity, consumption, and the body.

Clinical psychologist Margo Maine has been successfully helping adult women overcome eating disorders and body image problems for over twenty years. In The Body Myth, she explains the toll these problems can take on women’s lives and provides healing insights and proven techniques for reclaiming readers lives from the debilitating belief that a woman’s self-worth and her worth to others are derived from how she looks, how much she weighs, and what she eats the Body Myth. Using poignant real-life stories, Dr. Maine explores the complex emotional, social, and cultural forces that perpetuate the Body Myth. A unique and invaluable source of information and inspiration, this breakthrough guide equips readers with the knowledge and tools to escape the clutches of the Body Myth and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Mr. Webster defines drawing as delineation. That doesn’t tell you how much of a real “bang” there is in it. Maybe He never knew. Most folks Love to draw even when they know little about it. It Started with the cave man, and still survives on the Walls of public places... Because It’s so much fun, and
So easy, it’s a shame not to be able to do it better.
