I have not found by googling a good biographic sketch from birth to today of Eric Franklin, author of PELVIC POWER. But it seems probable that he was born and educated in Switzerland, where he now works. He also later studied dance in the United States. *** Eric Franklin appears to write in German and then have his books translated into good, idiomatic English. PELVIC POWER is largely a reference book. You are free, admittedly, to leaf through it and read it from cover to cover in two or three hours, with an hour or two given to sampling well illustrated physical exercises. But you can also treat PELVIC POWER as an encyclopedia of anatomy and anatomical English, with focus on the human pelvis bones and their related muscles and nearby organs, especially diaphragm and lungs. It is a book to return to again and again. *** It was news to me that "sit bones" and "pelvic tuberosities" are interchangeable in meaning. But tuberosities goes beyond simply sitting; they connote attachment to certain pelvic bones of ligaments or muscles. And so it goes with dozens of other technical descriptive words, such as os coccygis, pubic symphysis,sacrum, ilium and on and on. A reader's eventual mastery of systematically presented, repeated and illustrated anatomical terminology may be the single greatest empowerment of PELVIC POWER. *** PELVIC POWER is a detailed, systematic look at the human body within the author's patented conceptual framework called "The Franklin Method." That method specializes in the use of imagery. Imagery, however, is a broad term. Sometimes it seems synonymous with mental. Emphasis in PELVIC POWER is on the brain, on thinking and how the mental is a living component of the physical body. Personal or student advancement in good posture, health and flowing movement requires an ever growing awareness built up through exercises of mind, organs, skeleton, ligaments, joints, muscles and more. Such awareness is promised and delivered in PELVIC POWER. -OOO-
