The Warrior Diet

“Ori Hofmekler has his finger on a deep, ancient and very visceral pulse–one that too many of us have all but forgotten. Part warrior-athlete, part philosopher romantic, Ori not only reminds us what this innate, instinctive rhythm is all about, he also shows us how to detect and rekindle it in our own bodies. His program challenges and guides each of us to fully reclaim for ourselves the strength, sinew, energy and spirit that humans have always been meant to possess.”

—Pilar Gerasimo, Editor in Chief, Life Experience Magazine

 

Sacred Commerce

“The Engelharts have an intriguing and prosperous notion: Companies can now serve as centers of self-realization and CEOs can nurture a business community’s spiritual transformation as well as healthy bottom line. This is cutting-edge stuff and I’m cheering them on.”

—Chip Conley, founder and CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality

 

A Barefoot Doctor’s Guide for Women

“This little book, written in a deceptively simple language, is chock full of intelligence, wit, and wisdom about our bodies and how we inhabit them. What strikes me the most, as a physician, is how simply Madame Delvaux renders the distinction between common sense and esoteric knowledge meaningless. Most irritatingly, she seems to know all sorts of things that those of us who spend our lives practicing medicine never seem to get around to understanding.”

—Jonathan Mueller, MD, San Francisco Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Neurologist, and Honorary Member, The French Society of Perfumers

 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

“Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy articulately and poetically reveals the deep intelligence that underlies patterns of suffering and disease in the human system. With a profound comprehension of embryology, and drawing inspiration from both science and the spiritual traditions, this book clearly unfolds an understanding of the primary forces that organize our form and function.”

—Michael Kern, course director of the Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust in London and author of Wisdom in the Body: The Craniosacral Approach to Essential Health

 

Earthwise Herbal

“In The Earthwise Herbal, Matthew Wood has revived the richness, depth, and dignity of the herbal medicine of the old masters, while at the same time endowing it with a new cosmopolitan, cross-cultural flavor that lifts it to a genuinely planetary level.”

—Rudolph Ballentine, MD, author of Radical Healing

 

A Mystical Haggadah

“Rabbi Klein has penned a fascinating Haggadah according to the mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hassidic masters…This is a deep and satisfying book that invites the reader to dive deeply into the spirit behind the Seder.”

—Pam Spence, Editor of The Ohio Jewish Chronicle

 

Engaging the Movement of Life

“Gintis has done a wonderful job of defining the physical aspect of our humanity, then showing how we are infused with the “breath of life,” the non-material part of our vitality. She puts concepts that are complex and immeasurable into very understandable words.”

—Pilar Martin, Certified Advance Rolfer, Structural Integration Journal

 

Martial Mechanics

“This book will help instructors and students alike pick up the slack as they learn about basic principles of anatomy, physics, and kinesiology. Starr dissects common techniques, the way they are supposed to work, and why they don’t work right any other way. Starr does a wonderful job of keeping this text unrestrictive in terms of martial style. Between his humor and his basic science you should feel comfortable applying the principles to any martial arts.”

—Dan McCarthy, Martial Edge

 

Poems For New Orleans

“The totality of Poems For New Orleans speaks to the depth of Ed Sanders' life, his art, his innovation. His no-limits empathy throughout his lifetime and in this sorriest of epochs. His insistence that we must all speak out and act. What happened to compassion? is the question Ed demands an answer for. He's been on the frontlines for almost half a century and his current work proves that he's showing no signs of compromise. In the process of making this demand, he magically transfigures the quest to end human suffering into art.”

—Michael Simmons, The Huffington Post
