Crookston is in the heart of the fertile Red River Valley. Railroad baron James J. Hill positioned the city to be a hub of transportation; so Civil War veterans and railroad workers settled Crookston first. At Hill�s behest; a long tradition of learning how to �farm smart� started with the Northwest School of Agriculture in 1906. Facing a short growing season; farmers stayed close to the soil and invented better implements to harvest the area�s bounty. The tradition of improving technology continues from the century-old practices begun at the Experiment Station. Currently; precision agriculture is taught at the University of Minnesota; Crookston�s �laptop university.� Familiar family names from Crookston�s retail sector have prevailed throughout the farmers� cycle of boom and bust. Many other talented personalities shine through; especially those skilled in sports and music. Also included in this volume are unsung heroes for their acts of kindness and volunteerism.

I have been a Feldenkrais Practitioner for 26 years and used this work to 1) to get out of chronic pain from an injury; 2) find a way to use this work in my own area (criminal justice); and 3) to stay healthy; working and relatively happy pushing 70. Now I work with actors; directing them to help me teach crisis intervention role play scenarios for a de-escalation class. This book addresses all of that. How to move to lessen pain; find your own path; and keep using this work to learn and improve.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
