Výbor fejetonů indiánského autora, přibližujících život v kalifornské rezervaci Pala. Autor, po matce Indián z kmene Cupeňo, pracoval řadu let jako novinář a konzultant pro indiánské projekty. Ve svých fejetonech předkládá drobné obrázky denního života své domovské rezervace, portréty jejích svérázných obyvatel, nostalgické vzpomínky na tradiční fiesty, na meditaci v potní lázni či babiččiny tortilly. Z jeho vyprávění vyvstává obraz moderních Indiánů, kteří nemají příliš společného s romantickými klišé, žijí naplno v současném světě a své dávné tradice do něj přinášejí ne jako zajímavý folklór, ale jako osobitý styl života a vnitřní vyrovnanosti. Johnson píše jednoduchým, působivým stylem, který dobře souzní s námětem vyprávění a zdařilý překlad Heleny Clark-Jiřincové jej velmi pěkně zprostředkovává.

Groundworks gives accounts of the actual processes of working with individuals in six major schools of Somatics by either the creator of the method itself or a leading teacher of the method. The creators are Robert Hall of Lomi School, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen of Body-Mind Centering, and Emilie Conrad Da'oud of Continuum. Leading teachers of methods include Michael Salveson on Rolfing, Elizabeth Beringer on Feldenkrais work, and Darcy Elman on F. M. Alexander Technique. Each therapist describes how he or she approaches and diagnoses a patient's problem, how he or she determines what and where to work, and the progress of a session. Each therapist shows the complexity of working with somatic processes and the resulting reward for client and therapist both.
