Review: Maybe the most incisive book I've read. Whether interested in design, sociology, comfort or architecture this is an incredibly engaging and revealing book. It's inspiring how taking a single, everyday object that billions use each day and applying some critical thinking can reveal not only so much about the object, it's alternatives, but the folly of everday practice and received wisdom. You'll never look at a chair again the same, but you'll never look at any object or practice again without thinking about it either. Review: I'm sick of our society suffering from bad backs and not doing anything about it. READ THIS BOOK

I was under the impression that sitting on a recliner was for sloths, and rockers were for grandmas. Cranz offers excellent insights into seating using the Alexander Technique as well.
