Title Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Author James Nestor Location Other Rating Highly Recommended Book Review This book took my breath away (sorry for the pun!). Journalist James Nestor explores the culture, science, history and spirituality of breathing -- and how we've been doing it wrong.  It's a detailed yet accessible peek into the world of "pulmonauts" - people who use their breath as a tool for exploration and transformation.  I was inspired to try a few techniques - including taping my mouth shut at night (Nestor devotes many pages to the evils of mouth breathing including dental issues, headache, fatigue). Strange at first but it does get easier! Submitted By Ashley Bloomfield Department or Major Rodgers Center Status Staff Chapman Email ambloom@chapman.edu
