range of disorders through a system of postural changes, the
Technique stresses the importance of reeducating the muscular

people can alleviate tension, fatigue, back pain, neck stiffness,

basic skills to the most advanced needs of musicians, entertainers,
professionals, and athletes.
In 1932 Zara Witkin, a prominent American engineer, set off for the
Soviet Union with two goals: to help build a society more just and
rational than the bankrupt capitalist system at home, and to seek
out the beautiful film star Emma Tsesarskaia. His memoirs offer a
detailed view of Stalin's bureaucracy--entrenched planners who
snubbed new methods; construction bosses whose cover-ups led to
terrible disasters; engineers who plagiarized Witkin's work;
workers whose pride was defeated. Punctuating this document is the
tale of Witkin's passion for Tsesarskaia and the record of his
friendships with journalist Eugene Lyons, planner Ernst May, and
others. Witkin felt beaten in the end by the lethargy and
corruption choking the greatest social experiment in history, and
by a pervasive evil--the suppression of human rights and dignity by
a relentless dictatorship. Finally breaking his spirit was the
dissolution of his romance with Emma, his "Dark Goddess." In his
lively introduction, Michael Gelb provides the historical context
of Witkin's experience, details of his personal life, and insights
offered by Emma Tsesarskaia in an interview in 1989.
