defeat Scar and take his rightful place as ruler of the Pride
Lands. In 'The Lion King 2 - Simba's Pride' (1998) Simba's wilful

Celebrating his thirtieth birthday alone in Paris, Michael Whyte
realizes that it is entirely possible to live an unglamorous life
in the most glamorous of cities. Then, an unexpected gift of formal
wear followed by a party invitation from his eccentric neighbors
puts him in search of the first French franc-a coin said to be
incredibly valuable and wickedly dangerous.
Guided by a deaf mute and mentored by an epistemologist, Michael
careens across the city, from the Chateau de Vincennes to the Musee
d'Orsay, from the sewers of Paris to the base of the Eiffel Tower,
in his quest for the coin and for an answer to the question of its
true nature.
Assisting, thwarting, or simply confusing him along the way is a
bizarre collection of lunatic personalities including a Castilian
hit man, a Zen Buddhist Swiss jeweler, a flatulent statue of
Benjamin Franklin, a foul-mouthed rhinoceros, the Concierge from
Hell, and an enigmatic beauty named Chione.
"Rue de la Pompe" is the first of four novels chronicling
Michael Whyte's year in Paris.

This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference
Fascial Release for Structural Balance includes all of the most
current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body,
and how treatment affects it. James Earls and Thomas Myers have
taken advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater
detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function,
making this updated edition an even more essential guide. Fascia,
the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a
crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently
manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic
conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain
relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the
patient's ongoing aches and pains and leading to rapid, effective,
and lasting pain relief. The authors argue that approaching the
fascia requires "a different eye, a different touch, and
tissue-specific techniques." Offering a detailed introduction to
structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural
analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper
assessment of a patient through "bodyreading," the book features
150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique.
Earls and Myers, both respected bodywork professionals, provide any
bodywork practitioner using manual therapy-including
physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger
point therapists, and massage therapists-the information they need
to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic
change in clients' shape and structure.
George Lucas directs this Oscar-winning sci-fi adventure, the first
film of the hugely successful 'Star Wars' franchise. Luke Skywalker
(Mark Hamill), a farm boy from a desert planet who dreams of
becoming a pilot, is drawn into a rebellion when his family buys
two robots that the evil Empire are desperate to get their hands
on. An old Jedi knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and
smuggler Han Solo (Harrison Ford) are among his companions as he
attempts to save the beautiful Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and
aide the rebellion.
In this sequel to 'Star Wars Episode I: A New Hope' (1977), the
Rebel Alliance flees the power of Darth Vader (Dave Prowse) once
again and finds refuge on the frozen planet of Hoth, but their safe
place does not stay safe for long. The all-star cast also includes
Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.
The next instalment in the 'Star Wars' franchise. Rebel Luke
Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his friends continue to battle evil in
the form of the decadent galactic empire, headed by Jedi-gone-bad
Darth Vader (Dave Prowse, with the voice of James Earl Jones), as
the ruthless Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) sets plans in motion to
build a second Death Star with the purpose of destroying the Rebel
Alliance.
Countering the oversimplified teaching of musculoskeletal anatomy
via static positions, James Earls argues for a novel approach. He
calls for new tools and vocabulary to observe and articulate
anatomy in motion and posits that observing varied bodies in
different environments should refine our anatomy understanding.
Earls explores the profound effects of understanding fascial tissue
interconnectedness—described as anatomy trains, myofascial
chains, meridians, or slings—on our anatomical knowledge. He
delves into the concept of tensegrity, emphasizing its contribution
to our appreciation of the intricacy and interdependence of
real-world body movements. By situating the different theories and
metaphors of myofascial continuities against the context of common
real-life movements such as sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls
describes the utility and application of each theoretical system to
many different situations and issues. Using up-to-date research,
Earls digs into important questions for physical and manual
therapists: which tissues really are contiguous? Does continuity of
tissue actually show or demonstrate transmission of force and
communication along those lines? And does fascial tissue have to be
continuous for the body to actually transfer force? Accessibly
written and fully illustrated, Functional Anatomy of Movement
offers practical applications for physical therapists,
chiropractors, and bodyworkers, as well as new tools for teachers
of yoga and Pilates to develop a deeper understanding of anatomy
and movement.
