Citygami London is a craft project, a diorama, a study in
architecture, and, when it's finished, a stand-alone piece of art.
Inspired by one of the world's great architectural cities,
Clockwork Soldier have created a unique experience that lets
readers replicate London's most famous buildings, while also
gaining fascinating insight into their histories and significance.
Here, scale models of the Shard, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's
Cathedral, the London Eye, and other structures are presented in
die-cut, pre-folded, cardstock pages. Clear, easy-to-follow
instructions show you how to assemble each building. Accompanying
the models are a set of detachable cards of the buildings, allowing
readers to play against each other by comparing facts and figures
about the structures. Best of all, when every building has been
constructed, the result is a display-ready cityscape of London. As
fun as it is educational, this craft book promises hours of
absorbing activity and a lasting keepsake for years to come.
Predators get a pretty bad rap. Sure, they prey on helpless animals
that never stand a chance. But behind those jagged teeth, powerful
jaws, and razor-sharp claws, every predator has a softer side.
Maybe even an adorable one. Everyone has compassion for the cute
bunny or lamb. But what about their predators who are working hard
for their meal? Capturing their prey is a life or death game. Just
think about the last time you had to hunt for food while hangry.
You can understand, right? With thirty adorably dark scenes of
nature, illustrator Alex Solis shares his sense of humor while
giving you a chance to color in the most gruesome parts of life
with a smile. It's time to give theses predators a break! Because,
in the end, both predators and their prey play a role. I mean, it's
not their fault they were made this way! They're just living off of
instincts; doing what comes naturally to them. So rather than
turning away from nature, let's celebrate all the animals who

Written for yogis of all levels, 'The Anatomy of Yoga Coloring
Book' perfectly bridges the gap between anatomy textbook, yoga
compendium, and interactive revision tool. The human body is a
complex and fascinating machine. Author Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones
illustrates just how clever it is by first breaking it down in to
its component parts, and then putting it back together in its full
glory within the context of yoga movement. Starting with a
comprehensive examination of the nervous system, anatomical
movement, and all the body systems, the book then truly comes to
life as Staugaard-Jones presents over 50 popular asanas describing
with color and artistry which muscles are being strengthened
(contracting), which are being stretched (lengthened), and which
muscles are working as stabilizers to support the pose. Test your
knowledge as you color intricate black and white drawings of each
asana The seven categories of asanas are presented with prompts to
color relevant structures and functions, insightful technique tips,
and anatomical nuggets that will enhance your understanding of the
science behind your practice. You will learn not only the benefits
of each pose but also the contraindications, relevant terminology,
and how to vary poses where necessary. The healing heart of yoga
What sets this book apart from others is its inclusion of the
subtler realm of yoga - that which is referred to as 'energetic
anatomy'. Understanding the unseen energies of the body in terms of
fascia, bandhas, nadis, and chakras will take you beyond just
muscle and joint mechanics, alignment and technique, and connect
you more profoundly to the yogic way of life.
