For many years at the Jivamukti Yoga School in New York City and throughout the country, popular and highly regarded yoga teacher Ruth Lauer-Mancnti (affectionately known as "Lady Ruth") has been offering her students "dharma talks"---stories from her life that accompany her classes and represent the yogic commitments to ahimsa (nonviolence), compassion, and service. Some of these talks have now been collected in a book, many of them accompanied by a reading from classic Hindu texts. Composed with humor and sensitivity, An Offering of Leaves is the perfect gift for the aspiring yogin and any spiritual seeker wanting to live with thoughtfulness and integrity. "Ruth sces not only beauty and wonder in the world around her, but receives profound guidance from observing everyday activities like an old woman getting her hands dirty changing a flat tire or ants carrying carrots. This is because to Ruth all of life pulsates with the wisdom teachings of the guru---the enlightenment principle that surrounds and permeates through all of us at all times."---Sharon Gannon, co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga School "Ruth gives readers an understanding of the philosophy of yoga through all that she has experienced in her many dedicated years of practice under the guidance of my grandfather, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois."---Sharath Rangaswamy "Ruth is an able teacher of yoga and a serious student of Sanskrit. Her deep knowledge of the Indian heritage and tradition makes her views very interesting. Her incisive mind finds various hidden meanings in the words of ancient scers. Needless to say, her students are sure to gain true knowledge if they pay attention to her, even when she speaks casually."---Prof. H. V. Nagaraja Rao, Sanskritist

Of all our childhood memories, few are quite as thrilling, or as tactile, as those of climbing trees. Scampering up the rough trunk, spying on the world from the cool green shelter of the canopy, lying on a limb and looking up through the leaves at the summer sun almost made it seem as if we were made for trees, and trees for us.Even in adulthood, trees retain their power, from the refreshing way their waves of green break the monotony of a cityscape to the way their autumn transformations take our breath away. In this lavishly illustrated volume, the trees that have enriched our lives finally get their full due, through a focus on the humble leaves that serve, in a sense, as their public face. The Book of Leaves offers a visually stunning and scientifically engaging guide to six hundred of the most impressive and beautiful leaves from around the world. Each leaf is reproduced here at its actual size, in full color, and is accompanied by an explanation of the range, distribution, abundance, and habitat of the tree on which it’s found. Brief scientific and historical accounts of each tree and related species include fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden its portrait. The Henry’s Maple, for instance, found in China and named for an Irish doctor who collected leaves there, bears little initial resemblance to the statuesque maples of North America, from its diminutive stature to its unusual trifoliolate leaves. Or the Mediterranean Olive, which has been known to live for more than 1,500 years and whose short, narrow leaves only fall after two or three years, pushed out in stages by the emergence of younger leaves. From the familiar friends of our backyards to the giants of deep woods, The Book of Leaves brings the forest to life—and to our living rooms—as never before.
