Nowhere is the interplay of ergonomic and Alexander Technique concepts better illustrated than in the design of the chair, and the ways in which we use them. The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body and Design provides a wonderfully fresh look at an object so common in our society that most of us pay little or no attention to it. Galen Cranz, a professor of architecture at the University of California Berkely and a teacher of the Alexander Technique, has written what is probably the definitive work on this topic. Ergonomists, Physical Therapists, Alexander Technique teachers - and everybody else who sits on chairs - can learn a great deal from this very readable book.
