Guida per principianti Sapone fai da te Come autoprodurre un sapone fragrante, delicato e tutto naturale Con tante ricette per principianti: Come Autoprodurre Un Sapone Fragrante, Delicato E Tutto Naturale Con Tante Ricette Per Principianti
by April BrownLa cosa meravigliosa del sapone fatto in casa è che si può realizzare con gli ingredienti, i colori e le fragranze di propria scelta. Fare da sé il sapone è divertente ed emozionante. Hai sempre voluto provare a fare il sapone, ma non hai mai osato? Sperimenta subito con una delle ricette di questo libro e vedrai che non è poi così difficile come si pensa. Naturalmente è necessario attenersi strettamente alle misurazioni e ai pesi indicati, poiché ciò determinerà il risultato del prodotto finale. Gli ingredienti per la saponificazione (soda e grassi/oli) attraverseranno infatti un semplice processo che li legherà chimicamente in un nuovo composto, appunto il sapone. Per saponificare i grassi occorrono assolutamente la soda o la potassa caustica (idrossido di sodio o idrossido di potassio), quindi consiglio di non tentare di utilizzare lisciva o altro. Naturalmente nel prodotto finito non ne resteranno tracce. In questo libro ho delineato gli ingredienti di base necessari alla produzione del sapone e le attrezzature, illustrando in dettaglio i vari metodi corredati di immagini. Con questo libro, imparerai: - Fino a cinque metodi di saponificazione - Ricette per vari scopi - Storia della produzione del sapone - Terminologia del sapone - Ricette per principianti - Precauzioni da prendere durante la manipolazione della soda - Produzione di sapone liquido

A Guide to a Somatic Movement Practice: The Anatomy of Center
by Nancy TopfAn introduction to embodied movement through the work of a dance education pioneer In this introduction to the work of somatic dance education pioneer Nancy Topf (1942–1998), readers are ushered on a journey to explore the movement of the body through a close awareness of anatomical form and function. Making available the full text of Topf’s The Anatomy of Center for the first time in print, this guide helps professionals, teachers, and students of all levels integrate embodied, somatic practices within contexts of dance, physical education and therapy, health, and mental well-being. Hetty King, a movement educator certified in the Topf Technique®, explains how the ideas in this work grew out of Topf’s involvement in developing Anatomical Release Technique—an important concept in contemporary dance—and the influence of earlier innovators Barbara Clark and Mabel Elsworth Todd, founder of the approach to movement known as “ideokinesis.” Featuring lessons written as a dialogue between teacher, student, and elements of the body, Topf’s material is accompanied by twenty-one activities that allow readers to use the book as a self-guided manual. A Guide to a Somatic Movement Practice is a widely applicable entry point into the tradition of experiential anatomy and its mindful centering of the living, breathing body.

Guide to Framing Design Practice for UX (Synthesis Lectures on Human-Centered Informatics)
by John LongThe scope of the book is UX. It presents a comprehensive guide for readers to better engage with the framing of UX design practice. The guide characterises UX as a movement, whose members are developing shared ideas to specify and to implement HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) as UX. The book is based on the analysis of the conduct and reporting of framing UX design practice, contributed by experienced UX practitioners. It surveys the various means by which UX practitioners conduct and report their design practices. These include trial and error; implement, test, and specify; and implement, evaluate, and iterate. These practices apply UX frameworks, UX approaches, and UX methods and are typically reported in the form of UX case studies. The book differs from top-down, formal, and framework-driven approaches. In contrast, it takes a bottom-up, informal, and practice-driven approach. In a dynamic field such as UX, there is seldom time to stop and think about the wider issues associated with design practice and its related trends. But this book creates that opportunity for UX practitioners to locate and reflect on their design practice—what they are doing and why they are doing it. The guide creates a space in which UX practitioners are informed of current trends that they can incorporate into their own workflows. Readers benefiting from this book include those working in customer experience design, experience-centred design, and human experience design. It will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students trying to make sense of the different ways of conducting and reporting HCI as UX. Further, it provides grounding for young researchers making their way in the fast developing world of UX.
