Being rhythmical

The Natural Year: Jane Alexander. Bantam Books 1997. £6.99

This book is 'A Seasonal Guide to Alternative Health and Beauty' It works through our annual seasons, month by month. As we have become more 'civilised' we have lost touch with our innate seasonal rhythms, but by following the recommendations made in this book one can be reconnected with our Rhythmical Being .

There are obviously references to many different types of alternative approaches, but sadly Fitness does not appear in the index! Nevertheless this is a book that can be referred to at appropriate times of the year, and for many people it could be an important book to have on your shelf.
