Many of us carry our heads too far back and tilted skywards. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to resume its natural place on the summit of our spines.

The Alexander technique can teach you to swim better, concentrating on technique rather than clocking up lengths. So who was Alexender and how did he come up with the technique?

Critics of the notion of hosting the Olympies often focus on the more easily measurable or omic implications which suggest that the Games are not a viable proposition, but the Olympics are not just Sfout money; they are about other aspects of legacy which are at least as significant. D Most positive developments that might be associated with hosting the Olympics would happen enyway. Me frstructural investments could be made, incentives for tourists to visit could be offered and trade MWhegations could be energised. Past experience suggests the financial costs tend to outweigh the benefits ‘anyway, when variables like the absurd bidding process, security and mismanagement are factored in. What of tha more intangible spinoffs? First, there is no hard evidence that hosting the Olympics leads to greater public Involvement in sports. In fact, studies show sporting activity actually fell in certain Olympic cities once the ‘after- party enthusiasm’ had worn off. Genuine long-term participation in sports comes from grassroots investment Mrschools and community fecilities rather than glitzy shows. Most Olympic Games are concentrated in one city, Usually the capital, and have little impact, economic or otherwise, on other parts of the country. In fact, in some ‘cases, research reveals significant regional resentment about all the attention from government, the media and ther organisations being directed at one city.

It led Charles Darwin to provide us with «2 better understanding of how we evolved and it has inspired such everyday innovations as Velcro. US tuthor Peter Matthiessen wrote: ‘The variety of life in nature can be compared to a vast library of unread books, and the plundering of nature is comparable to the random discarding of whole volumes without having opened them and learned from them: see a ores “net fs interesting is how much people are willing aay to be In a wilderness environment says Julian tnartnews, director of Discovery Initiatives, a company inch takes people on small-group trips to more ‘han 38 countries, ‘fs still a small part ofthe tourism industry but it undoubtedly expanding, There are tafinitely more and more people secking wildlife sxperiences now! ieee ee] syatthews recognises the contribution that television has made to our knowledge of nature, but he says ‘there's no way to compare seeing an animal in the wild with watching one onTV. While a filmmaker may spend six months shooting an animal and will get closer to it than you ever will, there's no greater pleasure than seeing an animal in its own environment. On film, you'e only getting the visuals and the sound, As impressive as they may be, it's not the real thing’ And the good thing is that tourists can now watch wildlife live’ while helping to protect it~ a concept that comes under the broad label of ‘ecotourism’. wl In practice, this means that many tour operators, Quided by ethical policies, now use the services of focal communities, train local guides and have close ties to conservation projects. Tour operator Rekero, example, has established its own school - the Koyiaki Guide School and Wilderness Camp - for Maasai people in Kenya. Bie ee Conservation organisations have also realised that tourism can help educate people and provide valuable source of revenue and even manpower. The World Wildlife Fund, for example, runs trips that give donors the chance to see for themselves how their financial aid is assisting conservation projects in the field, and some organisations even allow tourists to part in research and conservation. 2 2a] larly, Biosphere Expeditions takes about 200 people every year on what its field operations director, Dr Matthias Hammer, calls an ‘adventure with a conscience, Volunteers can visit six destin around the world and take part in various acti including snow leopard, wolf and bear surveys and whale and dolphin research, 6 for Of course, going in search of wildlife doesn’t always ‘mean you wil find it. That sightings of animals in large wild areas don’t come automatically is a fact of life. Although potentially frustrating, it makes sightings all the more rewarding when they are made. And the opportunity to do something to help both the environment and local people can only add to the experience. Cl Advanced Test 4>> PAPER1 Reading and Use of English >» Part? 79 He is confident that, if done properly, this combination of tourism and conservation can bbe ‘a win-win situation: ‘People have a unique experience while contributing to conservation directly. Local people and habitats benefit. through job creation, research and an alternative income, Local wildlife benefits from our work! While there is indeed much to learn from many Species not yet known to science, it's the already opened texts that attract the majority of us, however. And we are attracted in ever increasing numbers, As people are able to travel to more extreme places in search of the ultimate wildlife experience, it's worth remembering that you Gon’t have to go to the ends of the earth to catch rewarding glimpses of animals, Indeed, some of the best wildlife-watching opportunities are on our doorstep, This growth has been stimulated by the efforts of conservation groups and natural history documentaries.

But, as 's often true of Phillips's books, what you do fool when you've finished itis that it offers glimpses of the real, messy and never fully knowable human ear. B Together by Richard Sennett Together is the second book in a planned trilogy about the skills modern humans need for a happy co-existence. The first addressed the joys ‘of making things with your hands, and the third will be about cities. This one looks at how we can all get along together. Sennett explores the importance of equelity and how, in unequal societies, people are less willing to co-operate. He argues that our society is becoming atomised, ‘deskilling people in practising co-operation’. The trouble is it all feels atomised itself. Sennett's argument seems to bounce from place to place, and he relies on anecdotes and experience more than data. It aims to be a practical, how-to guide for maximising co-operation, but ends up a sort ff unsystematic self-help book: listening is as important a skill as the presentation of your own ideas; discussion need not reach agreement but can teach us new things; assertiveness is valuable, but so is politeness and diffidence.
