Eugenics and Other Evils

&ldquo;Gripping. . . . We&rsquo;ll always have Paris, but we may not feel quite the same about it after reading And the Show Went On.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Riding paints a riveting portrait of how Paris&rsquo;s glittering, politically diverse cultural elite . . . worked and played during the dark days of the Nazis&rsquo; occupation.&rdquo;&mdash;Vanity Fair &ldquo;Meticulously researched. . . . Riding&rsquo;s book is an impressively comprehensive survey of the occupation years.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist&#160;&ldquo;An arresting and detailed account. . . . A big story and insidiously troubling.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;Evocative. . . . A carefully constructed and sympathetic account. . . . Riding is very good at pointing to the complexities and ambiguities of the situation.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&ldquo;Fascinating.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Review of Books&ldquo;Certainly one of the finest works of serious popular history since the heyday of Barbara Tuchman. . . . Riding&rsquo;s triumph lies in refusing to affirm any simplistic answers. Instead, he plunges the reader into the French cultural scene of the 1930s and &lsquo;40s and shows us how real men and real women dealt with the devil.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;Lively. . . . Compelling and complex. . . . Most interesting are the complicated stories of artists who were neither heroes nor traitors, who made decisions about how to live and work during the occupation.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;&ldquo;The world of the arts in Nazi-occupied Paris is brought to life in this meticulous chronicle. . . . [Riding] provides vivid character sketches and narratives.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Yorker&#160;&ldquo;Broad-ranging. . . . Riding&rsquo;s detailed and well-researched account is sure to appeal to Francophiles, admirers of French culture and readers seeking to heighten their understanding of an emotionally charged and morally complex aspect of World War II. More than that, it offers insights into the ethical dilemma that many of France&rsquo;s luminaries faced during a critical time in their nation&rsquo;s history and the different ways in which they chose to respond.&rdquo;&mdash;The Associated Press&#160;&ldquo;A book of transcendent relevance. . . . Splendidly informed.&rdquo;&mdash;Fritz Stern, author of Gold and Iron&#160;&ldquo;[A] monumentally researched, vividly written and troubling account of how the cultured citizens of Paris behaved while the Nazi swastika fluttered above the Eiffel Tower.&rdquo;&mdash;Newark Star-Ledger&#160;&ldquo;Full-blooded and meticulously researched.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times&#160;&ldquo;In this highly readable book, Alan Riding presents a thorough, balanced account of the ways French artists and writers responded to Nazi occupation, ranging from active resistance to enthusiastic collaboration. . . . Riding marshals details with the verve and care of a great reporter.&rdquo;&mdash;Susan Suleiman, C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of France and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University&#160;&ldquo;Riveting. . . . This fine book reminds the reader of the many shades of collaboration in an occupied country.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Times &#160;&ldquo;A tale of betrayal and resistance, patriotism, and bold opportunism&mdash;and in the end, vengeance and forgetfulness.&rdquo;&mdash;The Jewish Exponent&#160;&ldquo;A superb account of intellectuals under pressure. . . . Alan Riding, deeply versed in French politics and culture, is the ideal guide to Parisian life under the Nazis. He has written a wonderful book.&rdquo;&mdash;Ward Just, author of An Unfinished Season and Echo House&#160;&ldquo;A remarkable cultural history of the City of Lights at its darkest hour. . . . A work of intellectual history in its purest form.&rdquo;&mdash;Jewish Journal&#160;&ldquo;This book raises many questions about degrees of guilt, unjust accusations, and changing sides. It successfully shows that, for many, the occupation was rarely black and white.&rdquo;&mdash;Sacramento Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Only someone as deeply versed in French culture as is Alan Riding, and as completely in command of his subject, could have written this magisterial account. . . . It is star-studded and makes fascinating reading.&rdquo;&mdash;David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace

&ldquo;With sincere compassion, progressive wisdom, and intelligent instruction, Jivana explores why it is necessary for all bodies&mdash;regardless of shape, size, gender, sexuality, race, socioeconomic status, or abilities&mdash;to have access to yoga and the myriad benefits it provides. This book should be included in every teacher&rsquo;s training course worldwide. I know I will include it in mine.&rdquo;&mdash;Seane Corn, author of Revolution of the Soul&ldquo;Jivana Heyman has a heart as wide as the world. Which is just as well, because his new book, Accessible Yoga, is exactly the direction that global yoga culture needs to move towards to restore the practical relevance of this great healing art. Whether you are thick or thin, young or old, ambulatory or need the assistance of a walker, wheelchair, or crutch, Jivana opens up the practice of yoga in the most delightful and creative ways to anyone who can breathe. Through offering progressive points of entry&mdash;from free standing, using a wall, sitting in a chair, or lying on the floor or even in bed&mdash;Accessible Yoga is a treasure trove of invaluable and practical information that will open many doors for people who might otherwise not have the courage to begin. What shines through in every word of this exceptional book is the clear mind, compassionate heart, and the passionate advocacy of a teacher who is a living and breathing testament of what Yoga, capital Y, is all about.&rdquo;&mdash;Donna Farhi, author of Yoga, Mind Body & Spirit and Pathways to a Centered Body&ldquo;One of the most positive aspects of modern yoga is its inclusivity, not only in regard to age, gender, and ethnicity, but physical ability as well. Jivana's program in this well-written and comprehensive manual offers those with physical limitations of whatever kind, access to the full range of benefits each and every student might expect from the practice of yoga. This is also an invaluable reference resource for teachers no matter who their students are.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Richard Rosen, author of Original Yoga&#160;&ldquo;Accessible Yoga&#160;is nothing less than a gem for yoga practitioners of all abilities.

His love for yoga and the people he advocates for shines through on every page.&rdquo;&mdash;Nina Zolotow, coauthor of Yoga for Healthy Aging and Editor in Chief of the Yoga for Healthy Aging blog&ldquo;Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body ought to be a required text in all 200-hour yoga teacher trainings. As public demand for yoga dramatically increases, teachers find themselves being asked to serve a wider audience of students than can be addressed in a foundational training. This text meets those teachers where they are, and clearly offers guidance and options to more appropriately bring yoga to those seeking its benefits. There's no pretense to making teachers health experts or therapists...just solid resources based on Heyman&rsquo;s decades of experience and study.&rdquo;&mdash;Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD, C-IAYT. Founder of SmartSafeYoga (www.smartsafeyoga.com)&#160;"This user-friendly manual provides a welcome and valuable service in potentially opening the world of yoga up to an even wider population."&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Heyman&rsquo;s book is a look at poses, practices, and modifications intended to suit a wide range of bodies who deserve to practice yoga. Any yoga teacher worth their salt offering asana-based classes needs to be able to meet and work with any student walking through the door, and this book is a vital tool in helping reframe the ideas of what &lsquo;correct&rsquo; or &lsquo;ideal&rsquo; alignment and shapes are in practice.&rdquo;&mdash;Book Riot

From the reviews:
"Dror Paley has written a remarkable book that, perhaps for the first time, permits complete fulfillment of Andry's standard for alignment in the correction of complex limb deformities... just as a NASA lunar flight manual provides the terms needed to explore new worlds, so too will Paley's Principles of Deformity Correction offer the dedicated reader new perspectives on lower limb deformities." (Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery)
"Dror Paley has written a remarkable book … . Principles of Deformity Correction evolved from a course taught by Paley and his coworkers in Baltimore. The book, which deals exclusively with lower limb deformities, is divided into two parts. The first ten chapters present a step-by-step technique for deformity analysis … . The second part of the book describes various surgical techniques designed to correct the deformities once they have been fully analyzed." (Stuart A. Green, The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Vol. 84-A (7), 2002)
