This "tour de force of analysis" (Joel Agee) examines the life and work of the prolific; visionary writer; painter and critic. Kemp finds in Ruskins life -- which spanned the same years as Queen Victorias and thus embodied the Victorian era itself -- a faithful mirror of the history and psychological evolution of his age.

The book has the feel of something written for physical/occupational therapists to get new imagery from. My own use of this book is providing breakthroughs for me and solving some nagging alignment problems that experienced instructors could not really fix. My appearance. stamina. and comfort in dance and life have improved in the two months I have owned ths book.16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Amazing body informationBy howgalMany years ago I got my BFA in Modern Dance. If only we had this as our book for the year long class in kinesiology! There is such depth of understanding of how we move and how to connect the mind and the body to go WAY beyond what you thought was possible. I wonder if this had been my introduction to kinesiology way back when - perhaps I would still be dancing today. I find it invaluable to teaching Pilates and Yoga today.When you get it. you have to sit with some paragraphs and let it sink in. Then read it many more times to see how it is interwoven. No superfulous words. no junk thrown in. It all is purposeful. Beautifully done.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. and though this is pretty technical stuffBy EkatIm a visual person. and though this is pretty technical stuff. it is helping me to "speak with" my own body and help re-align myself. I really appreciate his information. but would like even more pictures!
