Product Description

Review

Michael Bloch has done the world a great service by writing this life of a man who deserves to be more widely acknowledged and celebrated. (COUNTRY LIFE )

Bloch presents the facts in poised, gentlemanly prose, noting foibles without moralising, and dryly alive to amusing details. (TLS )

Book Description

An account of the inception and development of the Alexander Technique, and of the life of the man who invented it, F M Alexander.

First Sentence
It is notoriously difficult to describe the Alexander Technique: to attempt to do so has been likened to trying to describe a colour to a blind man. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
As distant relatives of FM we were interested to find out more about his early life in Tasmania and Australia.The book was informative in this respect, but like most other titles concerned mainly his ideas and therapy for life enhancement, and the celebrities who endorsed them. An interesting read about a person who achieved fame after humble beginnings.

Lifts the curtain on the act of a genius. 31 Oct 2011
By Alexander Murray - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The institution, which in Emerson's words, is the lengthened shadow of one man, and which now embodies the Alexander Technique, owes a debt of gratitude to the author Michael Bloch. This book brings life to the person behind the shadow.
