First edition, [6], 255, [1]pp., 4 large folding engraved plates of various different ploughs, contemporary tree calf, rebacked, label, a good copy. James Small, agriculturist and plough maker, was born at Upsettlington in the parish of Ladykirk, Berwickshire. He served an apprenticeship with a carpenter and plough maker at Hutton, Berwickshire, and about 1758 he went to Yorkshire to work for a Mr Robertson, maker of wagons and carriages at Doncaster. He returned to Scotland in 1763 and started to experiment with ploughs to establish which worked with the least draught. He enjoyed patronage from several leaders of Scottish society. Henry Home, Lord Kames, encouraged him in the publication of his treatise. Sir John Sinclair, a leader of progressive agricultural opinion in Scotland, was another champion of Small and his work. Small did not forget his first investor, Renton, who in 1784 became the dedicatee of his "Treatise of Ploughs and Wheel-Carriages." The book made Small the first to set out the scientific principles of plough design in print, building upon and clarifying the work of previous thinkers on the subject as well as expressing his own theories. This treatise was the standard text on plough design for fifty years. Rothamsted, p.136; Not in Perkins; Fussell II, pp.98-9.

br. Questo libro non vuole essere un manuale. Più che elencare singole nozioni, l'autrice cerca di rendere comprensibile quali siano le forze e i processi alla base della salute e della malattia, di evidenziarne legami, connessioni e meccanismi. Le conoscenze della medicina cinese sono descritte a partire dal quotidiano e dal loro lato esperienziale. Cosa rafforza l'organismo e cosa lo indebolisce? Come reagisce ai diversi influssi esterni? Come digerisce, come dorme? Come interagiscono corpo e anima? Domande semplici, alle quali la medicina cinese offre risposte altrettanto semplici e illuminanti. Per stare in salute è fondamentale capire come funziona l'organismo, come si manifestano i disequilibri e in che modo noi li possiamo percepire. Questa profonda comprensione dei processi e degli equilibri naturali è trasmessa dalla medicina cinese molto più che dalla biomedicina moderna. Sono descritti i cinque movimenti, i sistemi funzionali e le loro risorse (essenza, yin, yang, qi, sangue, liquidi corporei e spirito), le relazioni con emozioni e fattori climatici e in dettaglio cause, segni e sintomi di tutti i principali quadri di disequilibrio della medicina cinese.
br. L'appassionante, commovente e coinvolgente guerra di una donna contro il cancro, narrata attraverso le tappe che l'hanno portata alla vittoria. Perché se sempre diversa è la storia di ognuno, inevitabilmente diverso ne sarà il racconto. Così, giorno dopo giorno: dalla scoperta della malattia alla disperazione, dal baratro alle risalite, da quella propria, eppure estranea immagine allo specchio, fino a giungere all'impensabile traguardo della rinascita. Quella vera, profonda, voluta, quella cercata e trovata nell'amore per sé e per tutto ciò che ci circonda; nella gratitudine di un abbraccio, di un sorriso, di una parola gentile, ma soprattutto nell'acquisizione di una fondamentale consapevolezza: tutto ciò che ci arriva, anche quello che ci spaventa e che noi non possiamo cambiare, deve diventare la scoperta di una nuova opportunità. Perché così va vissuto il cancro, nostro scomodo "altro da sé": non presagio di morte, ma nuova opportunità di vita! Così come lo è stato per la protagonista di questa storia - a lieto fine - che lei ha voluto condividere pagina dopo pagina per dare prima di ogni altra cosa, a tutti, un forte messaggio di speranza. Prefazione di Maria Rosa Di Fazio.
