La descrizione dettagliata di oltre 200 posizioni o asana e le tecniche di respirazione (pranayama), le 600 fotografie che accompagnano le spiegazioni e che ritraggono il maestro quando, a trentacinque anni, praticava yoga dieci ore al giorno, ne fanno una storica pietra miliare della divulgazione e dell'insegnamento in Occidente di tale nobile disciplina. Oggi assistiamo ad un'esasperata commercializzazione dello yoga e la sua pratica è diventata quantomai superficiale e ostentata. Il mercato trabocca di prodotti concernenti lo yoga: riviste, attrezzi, abbigliamento. E siccome il vento dello yoga soffia potente, alcuni insegnanti propongono il loro metodo personale d'insegnamento pubblicizzandolo come unico anche se il loro sadhana manca di autenticità.

This volume summarizes the evolution and physiology of GnRH molecules and receptors, and provides insight as to how social behavior influences cellular and molecular events in the brain from a comparative perspective.


The chapters in this volume are divided into three major sections: Development and Cell Migration, GnRH Receptors, Physiology and Regulation. The review papers arose primarily from presentations made at the Second International Symposium on the Comparative Biology of GnRH, held in Penang, Malaysia, June 2-4, 2001; a satellite symposium in conjunction with the XIV International Congress of Comparative Endocrinology, Sorrento, Italy. In addition, leading neuroscientists doing cutting-edge research in the field of GnRH were invited as authors to make this volume a valuable reference.

Originally published in 1854, Ten Nights in a Bar-Room was the most important American temperance novel, rivaling Uncle Tom's Cabin for popularity. It satisfied the appetite for the sensational and the lurid, yet at the same time was endorsed by all the clergy.

"The Nobel Prize winner's first great novel" (Barack Obama), A House for Mr. Biswas is an unforgettable story inspired by Naipaul's father that has been hailed as one of the twentieth century's finest novels.In his forty-six short years, Mr. Mohun Biswas has been fighting against destiny to achieve some semblance of independence, only to face a lifetime of calamity. Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning death of his father, for which he is inadvertently responsible, Mr. Biswas yearns for a place he can call home. But when he marries into the domineering Tulsi family on whom he indignantly becomes dependent, Mr. Biswas embarks on an arduous– and endless–struggle to weaken their hold over him and purchase a house of his own. A heartrending, dark comedy of manners, A House for Mr. Biswas masterfully evokes a man's quest for autonomy against an emblematic post-colonial canvas.

In post-Arthurian England, ten-year old Amby and the troupe of traveling players he belongs to are on the run from a conqueror. He has been gifted with second-sight, and when the troupe stumbles upon an unoccupied castle he is the only one in the group who senses the power that lies within the stone building. In the near future, the Fisher King, Mordred and Morgan le Fay seek to gain control of Dr. Elaine Brusen's hypostater, a machine capable of altering fundamental reality. Both Amby and Elaine are unwittingly drawn into a power struggle that spans centuries and spills into the realm of fairy and beyond. Saberhagen reworks Arthurian legend and puts Arthur's survival, the succession of New Camelot and Merlin's bones on the line with an exciting blend of romance, danger and adventure.
