About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the decades following the American Civil War, reformers championed the explosion of public gymnasiums and fitness centres in cities all across the country. In the opinion of many reformers, being truly fit was not only of physical value, but was also conducive to moral superiority. This manual by Morris Bornstein was one of numerous texts from this period that looked to instruct Americans in the use of Indian clubs and dumbbells, which continue to be popular and effective tools for exercise today. An interesting and informative book, this 'Manual Of Instruction In The Use Of Dumb Bells, Indian Clubs, And Other Exercises' will appeal to those with an interest in fitness, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on indian clubs.

About this title

Synopsis

This early work is a fascinating read for pigeon fanciers and historians of the breed, but contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Illustrated with 7 full page plates and 15 text drawings. Contents Include: Foreword; Acknowledgments; Preface; List of Illustrations; Racing; The Breathing System; The Loft; The Feeding Problem; The Digestive Organs; The Bird's Eye; The Homing Faculty; Bird Flight; Marey's Experiments; Genetics; Breeding; Apropos Origins; Pure Strains; and Your Questions Answered. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
