Power Yoga
Author: Ulrica Norberg
According to Yoga Journal, there are 16.5 million yoga practitioners in America and they spend almost $3 billion dollars on classes and products each year. Author Ulrica Norberg suggests that yoga can aid us in developing our own life philosophies through a synthesis of Eastern ideology and an expanding understanding of ourselves. She takes readers through the elements of East Asian philosophy, the history and composition of yoga, and the basic movements and techniques specific to the dynamic yoga form of power yoga. Filled with beautiful full-color photographs illustrating sun-salutation (the basis of power yoga exercises), numerous asanas (poses), and relaxation techniques, her book is useful for all levels of instruction and inspiration.

Ebby: The Man Who Sponsored Bill W.
Author: Mel B
In 1934, Ebby Thatcher called an old drinking buddy to tell him about the happiness he was finding in sobriety. His friend's name was Bill Wilson, and this book is the story of their life-long friendship. It is both a fascinating history of the formative years of Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the bitter-sweet tale of the troubled man Bill W. always referred to as "my sponsor. "
"Deeply informative and moving, a valuable contribution to the history of A. A. A 'must' reading for anyone interested in one of the more fascinating chapters in A. A. 's history. "
--Nell Wing, Retired A. A. Archivist and Bill Wilson's Secretary
