Books with author L.W. Bentley

I had been suffering from lower back pain for the last few years, and presumed it was something I would just have to live with as a side-effect to being a slouching desk jockey, chained to my Mac 8 hours a day.And then one morning, over my usual post-shower caffeine fix and social media catch up, I saw a Facebook post from a gym-bunny friend of mine, complaining about her sore hip flexors after using a foam roller incorrectly. To be honest, she might as well have been talking about home decorating, as 90% of her post initially made no real sense to me - until we caught up over lunch. And then she explained her muscle injury and how she wished that she did some research before launching into a new workout routine. Now I'm most definitely not a gym addict - I try to go three times a week, and then mostly for light cardio on the treadmill, exercise bike and maybe the rowing machine if I'm feeling particularly adventurous. But after some research, it seemed that her injury and my constant back ache had something in common - hip flexors. This led me to carry out a lot more research, which eventually turned into this little book - and my release from constant nagging lower back pain.Maybe like me, until recently you had never heard of hip flexors, and were unaware how easy they can be to exercise and stretch, and the everyday benefits that unlocking or loosening them can have. And that’s why I wanted to share my discoveries, in the hope that they can benefit you too. The idea is that you’ll easily be able to read this book in one sitting, and that it’ll be a handy form of reference (on your Kindle or smartphone if you have the digital version, or the pocket-sized paperback) for you to carry out the five simple exercises as often as you like. I appreciate that many of us prefer videos over illustrations to explain exercises, so where possible I've included links to helpful instructional videos too.I look forward to helping you to have stronger, less tight hip flexors and all the benefits that come with them!L.W.

For almost a century, W. A. Bentley caught and photographed thousands of snowflakes in his workshop at Jericho, Vermont, and made available to scientists and art instructors samples of his remarkable work. His painstakingly prepared images were remarkable revelations of nature's diversity in uniformity: no two snowflakes are exactly alike, but all are based on a common hexagon.In 1931, the American Meteorological Society gathered the best of Bentley's photos and had them published; that work has long been available in a Dover reprint edition. The present volume includes a selection of 72 of the best plates (containing over 850 royalty-free, black-and-white photographs), carefully selected from that larger collection.An inexhaustible source of design inspiration for artists, designers, and craftspeople, these graceful patterns are ideal for use in textile and wallpaper design, as well as a host of other creative projects. These images will also appeal to anyone intrigued by the intricacy and beauty of design in the natural world.

BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKSI am still in search of this “best kids books to read” or” best kids stories” or any variation thereof as a designation for my kids books which I had so much fun and pleasure putting together. As the market for both books online and books for kids online grows, I am sure this will be harder and harder to achieve and maintain once achieved. But, being one of the best books for kids to read is a goal worth working hard for and for which I am ready and excited to continue.In this kids picture book, the series continues the educational adventures of Anna, her friend Susan and her parents going to the Aquarium. The book’s format remains the same with more beautiful, engaging and appealing pictures intermingled with the text in a very non-traditional and intriguing format that immediately catches the reader’s attention. This story is highlighted with pictures of jellyfish that look like cauliflower, broccoli, and fireworks as well as many colorful but very poisonous South American Rainforest frogs. The more colorful the frog, the more poisonous it is.One reviewer wrote: Wonderful Book That Your Child Will Love, June 4, 2013It is a real pleasure writing this review on "The Adventures of Anna ... At the Aquarium because there are so many great things to say about this book. First of all I was very impressed with the way the author wove the story around images of what Anna was seeing during her trip. What a great way to present a book for young readers! Another very strong point was the amount of information contained in the book about what Anna was viewing at the aquarium. The author include interesting facts about each and every creature in a way that could certainly spark more discussion between the parent and child reading this book together. Yet one more reason to buy this book is how very well written and well organized the book is which makes it very enjoyable to read. Finally I was impressed that the author took the book to the next level by also including links to topic relevant videos at the end of the book thereby providing an extra bonus to the reader who purchased this book. IMHO very deserving of a 5-Star rating!”So why don't you and your little one take a new kind of exciting trip to the Aquarium? I'm sure you won't be disappointed as the Anna series continues to work towards its goal of being in the Best Children’s Books category.

Best Children’s BooksI know, as the author, I am not supposed to classify my kids picture books, The "Adventures of Anna" kids book series as the best in children’s books but I can strive for this goal and I do.The Anna series is an educational adventure series of books for toddlers that first takes Anna and her parents on a trip to the Zoo. The books are informative and interesting books for kids but that parents will enjoy as well. There are many beautiful, engaging and appealing pictures intermingled with the text in a very non-traditional and intriguing format that immediately catches the reader’s attention. The story is further highlighted with exciting, little-known facts about animals that you would not necessarily learn at a real trip to the zoo. For instance, the word giraffe means camel plus leopard (a big tall camel with spots), that camels eat fish, and that zebra’s stripes are like fingerprints (none are alike). One reviewer wrote: “I loved the story of Anna …. The way the pictures were intermingled with the text was very appealing. The pictures were extremely well done and fit the story very well. I can't believe how much I learned from a children's book …”Why don't you and your little one(s) take an eye-opening and exciting trip to the Zoo today from the comfort of your home by reading about Anna’s Adventures at the Zoo? You won't be disappointed, I’m sure, as the Anna books for children series continues to work it’s way up to owning the designation of Best Children’s Books.

This is a 5-book educational adventure series for 2 to 4-year-olds.
