At the age of 17, Marjory Barlow began lessons in the Alexander Technique with her uncle F.M. Alexander. Seven decades later, she candidly revisits her personal experience of her uncle, and her passionate engagement with the Alexander Technique. 
In this series of searching conversations with fellow Alexander teacher Trevor Allan Davies, Marjory Barlow provides insights into the subtleties of an Alexander teacher's craft; the difficulties and resistences experienced by pupils of the work; the history and development of the Technique, and the effects of applying this technique over a lifetime. This book is both a memoir of one individual's evolutionary journey toward a conscious life and a practical guide for those interested in delving into the endlessly fascinating principles and applications of the Alexander Technique.

Are you an actor who routinely loses his voice before the end of a run? As a serious student of singing, do you wish those high notes would come more easily? Do you need courage to sing outside the shower? 
In this book, designed for both teachers and students of the speaking and singing voice, Jane Heirich addresses some common problem areas of the voice-teaching world: breath management, voice projection, resonance building, ?breaks? in the vocal range, and the relevance of overall poise to vocal output. The step-by-step approach through which she takes the reader allows new skills to develop for both beginning and experienced students/performers. 
This book is the culmination of decades of work integrating two approaches that will have a profound impact on your voice; the centuries-old Italian bel canto singing tradition and the FM Alexander Technique. 
If you've wondered whether you can improve your voice and enjoy using it more effectively, this is the book for you.

Flavors of Oakland will take you on a culinary tour through one of America's most vibrant cities. In each of the 20 chapters you will meet an Oakland resident who shares their story and a treasured recipe from their culture. Magnificent photos of the people and recipes bring the Flavors of Oakland to your own kitchen wherever you may be. WHAT IS FLAVORS OF OAKLAND? We traversed Oakland, interviewing regular people from all different cultures, learning about their lives, cooking with them, photographing them, and recording their favorite recipes. 
 We have conveyed in book form what it can be like to sit down to dinner with 20 different Oakland home cooks from twenty different cultures it s a portrait of what we think is beautiful about Oakland. 
 These stories are shared through written biographies, recipes, and photographs, to truly capture the essence of each flavor of Oakland. The project aims to use food as a means to bring people together over a meal, and break down barriers between the many cultures represented in Oakland. 
 THE IMPACT 
 Flavors of Oakland uses food as a means to bring people together over a meal and break down the barriers that promote separation and miscommunication in our city. Through the process of interviewing and cooking with Oakland residents we have heard many stories of upheaval and strife. The one thing that consistently connects people to their culture is food! We have set out to celebrate the cultural pride that exists in this one-of-a-kind city. 
 To spread this pride, we have donated copies of the book to all of the public schools and libraries in Oakland. 
 In an attempt to make a tangible difference, in addition to community building, we have supported local businesses throughout the development of this book, scouting Oakland printers, designers, and vendors.

Born To Sing: A singer's journey toward mind-body unity offers the reader a completely new approach to understanding the art of singing as a gift with which each person is born yet requiring thorough and conscious training. The training described is not through physical effort but through learning an awareness of the body's natural forces and connecting with the desire of the human heart to express and communicate beauty. The uniqueness of this beautifully written book in a deeply personal, story telling style is found in the premise that the voice is already within the singer and only needs to be released. The text is accompanied by 49 extraordinarily fine, sensitive, hand-drawn anatomical and physiological illustrations by Korina Kaiserslot. Ron Murdock trained with the highly respected European voice pedagoges Professor Frederick Husler and Yvonne Rodd-Marling and has combined that training with his training as a teacher of the F. M. Alexander Technique into an authoritative, human-centered pedagogy. In Born to Sing he calls on his 40 years experience to create a work of art that will be a practical guide and a true inspiration to everyone interested in the art of singing and mind-body unity. This is a book to read in depth, to enjoy and study. Singers and voice users at every level, as well as voice teachers and Alexander Technique teachers, will find a wealth of information here. The book is accompanied by a one hour 30 minute DVD containing both audio and visual sound examples, three teaching demonstrations, and an in-depth interview with the author.
