Editor Frances Oxford
"Doctor Barlow"
Anne Battye was suffering the traumatic effects of a car accident when

On"

meeting Nelson
Mandala, travelling over deserts and mountains, all in her pursuit of teaching
Alexander lessons.

(s)he is doing
in this challenging article on his view of the real nature of 'conscious
control'.

rate and blood pressure.

to reflect on the distinctly different styles and temprements of the two
'Barlow' teachers.
"The Space Between:
Stimulus & Response"
Pippa Bondy draws on her diaries and experiences as a student and AT teacher
to confront core issues about who she is, how she perceives herself and
how to integrate changes.
"Man the Tottering
Biped: Part VI - The Role of the Nervous System"
This 5th of six installments on human postural evolution explores
the essence of skilled movement and how our nervous system accomplishes
such feats.
"ViewPoint"
Robert Rickover reviews the summaries of Alexander's four books by Ron Brown
concluding that they represent a major addition to Alexander literature
and a 'must' read.
"Friends of Alexander:
Alexander Leeper"
Margaret Long recalls Alexander Leeper, an influential university academic
who held
Alexander's work in a lifetime regard and sought to convince the Government
of the day.
