Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fresh-Air Book Mr. J. P. Muller scarcely needs an introduction to English students of Physical Culture, but a few particulars concerning his work and his career may be of interest to the general reader. Mr. Muller's first book, by which he is chieﬂy known, embodies (as he states in his preface) a Simple system of caring for the body, which is certainly unique in respect of the rubbing exercises or Skin massage, which form part of it. That system, the outcome of many years' serious study, has become widely known and appreciated throughout Scandinavia, Northern and Southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The book describing it has been translated into several languages, and over three hundred and fifty thousand copies have been printed, including a very large edition in English. Mr. Muller's idea is the human form perfectly developed, and he has gone for his models to the classic figures of ancient Greece, which, and the literature concerning them, he acknowledges as the origin of much of his inspiration and enthusiasm. (the famous statue of Apoxyomenos in the Vatican at Rome is his favourite). He is no idolator of muscle, as such; he does not believe in the development Of one portion of the body over another, but what he does desire is the all-round development, internal and external, of the human form, giving it health, and strength, and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fresh Air Child "Wonder who that can be!" This exclamation was addressed by Mrs. Mary Brown to her own ears. The only creature in the room with her was Watch, the dog. If he heard her voice at all, as he lay behind the stove, he gave no heed to it. He had grown so accustomed to her habit of self-communication that he always waited until she addressed him directly before he gave heed. He had settled himself snugly to sleep, perhaps to dream of the woodchuck whose hole out in the orchard had been the subject of his investigation for the past few days. His mistress's conversation disturbed him not the least. "Whoever he is, he is coming in here," the woman continued. She had observed that the vehicle had stopped at the gate. A man had gotten out, and was just leading the horse through when she spoke the second time. There wasn't anything about the visitor that helped her to identify him. Though she knew every person, and every horse, and every vehicle within a radius of miles, these all refused to be placed. "Guess he's some one from town. Wants to engage some butter, maybe. Might have waited and seen Davy in town to-morrow. Let me see. Wouldn't promise him any before next month. Cows aren't doing very well yet. Wonder who he is, anyway!" By this time the stranger was hitching the horse at the post before the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fresh Air and How to Use It There is no point at which the campaign against tuberculosis has had a more beneficial effect on popular opinion than in the change of attitude toward the value of fresh air both in health and disease. Emphasized first as an agent of cure, the public is now beginning to recognize its value as a mode of prevention. There has resulted a demand for advice and information as to methods of obtaining fresh air which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is endeavoring to meet by the publication of the present volume. In preparing this book Dr. Carrington has kept constantly in mind the practical difficulties which the modern house dweller must meet in his attempt to avoid the evils of our present methods of construction. These difficulties serve also to emphasize the profound ignorance which surrounds the whole question of interior ventilation. No other problem of public hygiene is more in need of thorough investigation. The present widespread interest in the subject affords ground for hope that such investigation will not be long delayed.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • At 95, the legendary Mel Brooks continues to set the standard for comedy across television, film, and the stage. Now he shares his story for the first time in “a wonderful addition to a seminal career” (San Francisco Chronicle), “infused with nostalgia and his signature hilarity” (Parade). ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: New York Post • “Laugh-out-loud hilarious and always fascinating, from the great Mel Brooks. What else do you expect from the man who knew Jesus and dated Joan of Arc?”—Billy Crystal For anyone who loves American comedy, the long wait is over. Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny. All About Me! charts Mel Brooks’s meteoric rise from a Depression-era kid in Brooklyn to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Whether serving in the United States Army in World War II, or during his burgeoning career as a teenage comedian in the Catskills, Mel was always mining his experiences for material, always looking for the perfect joke. His iconic career began with Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, where he was part of the greatest writers’ room in history, which included Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. After co-creating both the mega-hit 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums and the classic television series Get Smart, Brooks’s stellar film career took off. He would go on to write, direct, and star in The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, and Spaceballs, as well as produce groundbreaking and eclectic films, including The Elephant Man, The Fly, and My Favorite Year. Brooks then went on to conquer Broadway with his record-breaking, Tony-winning musical, The Producers. All About Me! offers fans insight into the inspiration behind the ideas for his outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work, and offers details about the many close friendships and collaborations Brooks had, including those with Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his life, Anne Bancroft. Filled with tales of struggle, achievement, and camaraderie (and dozens of photographs), readers will gain a more personal and deeper understanding of the incredible body of work behind one of the most accomplished and beloved entertainers in history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fresh Air Charity in the United States After waiting several months for further replies, another attempt was made after this fashion. The Charity Organization Societies in all the cities of inhabitants or over, not already heard from, were addressed, this time with a personal letter to the secretary of the society. Any other agencies known to be doing Fresh Air work, but from whom no direct information had as yet been obtained, were similarly approached. Not infrequently, a correspondence protracted through the summer of 1896 was neces sary before the facts desired could be secured. The tables are them selves witnesses to not a few failures to make the returns complete. In New York City, the inquiry was simplified by easy access to the agencies themselves. Reliance upon correspondence was, if possible, less satisfactory here than elsewhere. Personal visits, ex plaining the purpose of the inquiry, proved the one effective way of ensuring the cooperation of the societies and churches con cerned.

If there is only one window in the room open it both top and bottom. If you feel the air blowing on you, place a board in front of the open window to send the air up (see illustration on following page). Such a window board should always be used in winter.

Book excerpt: A beautiful collectible hardcover edition of the father of Korean American literature's "wonderfully resplendent evocation of a newcomer's America" (Chang-rae Lee, author of Native Speaker) A Penguin Vitae Edition Having fled Japanese-occupied Korea for the gleaming promise of the United States with nothing but four dollars and a suitcase full of Shakespeare to his name, the young, idealistic Chungpa Han arrives in a New York teeming with expatriates, businessmen, students, scholars, and indigents. Struggling to support his studies, he travels throughout the United States and Canada, becoming by turns a traveling salesman, a domestic worker, and a farmer, and observing along the way the idealism, greed, and shifting values of the industrializing twentieth century. Part picaresque adventure, part shrewd social commentary, East Goes West casts a sharply satirical eye on the demands and perils of assimilation. It is a masterpiece not only of Asian American literature but also of American literature. Penguin Vitae―loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"―is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

Book excerpt: A subversively comic, genre-bending satire of bourgeois life by an essential Chinese American voice, featuring an introduction by New Yorker writer Hua Hsu, author of the acclaimed memoir Stay True A Penguin Classic It's Depression-era New York, and Mr. Nut, an oblivious American everyman, wants to strike it rich, even if at the moment he's unemployed, with no job prospects in sight. Over the course of a single night, in a narrative that unfolds hour by hour, he meets a cast of strange characters—disgruntled workers at a Communist cafeteria, lecherous old men, sexually exploited women, pesky authors—who eventually convince him to cast off his bourgeois aspirations for upward mobility and become a radical activist. Absurdist, inventive, and suffused with revolutionary fervor, and culminating in a dramatic face-off against capitalist power in the figure of the greedy businessman Mr. System, The Hanging on Union Square is a work of blazing wit and originality. More than eighty years after it was self-published, having been rejected by dozens of baffled publishers, it has become a classic of Asian American literature—a satirical send-up of class politics and capitalism and a shout of populist rage that still resonates today.
