Perennial wisdom from one of history's most important but lesser-known Stoic teachers "He knew that all a philosopher could do was respond well-bravely, boldly, patiently-to what life threw at us. That's what we should be doing now."-Ryan Holiday, Reading List email The Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus was one of the most influential teachers of his era, imperial Rome, and his message still resonates with startling clarity today. Alongside Stoics like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, he emphasized ethics in action, displayed in all aspects of life. Merely learning philosophical doctrine and listening to lectures, they believed, will not do one any good unless one manages to interiorize the teachings and apply them to daily life. In Musonius Rufus's words, "Philosophy is nothing else than to search out by reason what is right and proper and by deeds to put it into practice." At a time of renewed interest in Stoicism, this collection of Musonius Rufus's lectures and sayings, beautifully translated by Cora E. Lutz with an introduction by Gretchen Reydams-Schils, offers readers access to the thought of one of history's most influential and remarkable Stoic thinkers.

First published in 1920, this is one of the first and best books on the art of animation. Edward Lutz's classic contains many shortcuts to the process of film animation. These shortscuts were a trademark of Lutz's teaching. This book offers tips on drawing anatomy and motion and gives detailed instructions on how animated pictures are made and work. Walt Disney used an original copy of this book, relying heavily on its advice and teaching. This is both a valuable guide to animation and an extremely collectible classic.

Having diabetes for fifteen years I treated myself for the first ten years with diet and exercise. Five years ago I resorted to the typical medical advice from doctors with drugs and insulin. In my opinion, that was a big mistake. Had I known then what I know now, things would have been different. I saw first hand what was happening to me from the side effects from the drugs and the excess insulin in my blood. I have written this book to share what I have learned with anyone interested in knowing about natural alternate treatments, to give your body the proper nutrients it needs to heal, instead of just throwing a little water on the hot coals to keep the flames down. My agenda is to help every diabetic that wants to, get away from the medicine and help the body heal itself, and live a much better life.
