Laura Cooper & Sarah Skinner Belly Dance - Step by Step (Gaia, 143pp pbk)

Beautiful and mysterious, the epitome of Oriental fantasy, belly dancing is one of the most ancient art forms. The dance has been performed for thousands of years and images of belly dancing appear in Egyptian tombs, in Indian art, and even on early goddess artefacts. Here for the first time it is captured in a book. Belly Dance teaches you the basic steps, demonstrates how to add magic to your dance using props such as veils and swords, advises on building a dance routine and shows you how to perform with confidence and poise.

John Lane Timeless Beauty - in the Arts & Everyday Life (Green Books, 176pp illus pbk)

John Lane argues that once people were instinctively tuned to the beautiful. In those distant days before the advent of the motor car and the washing machine, the electric toothbrush and the wheel, craftsmen and musicians, masons and poets, painters and dancers, simply did not know how to make an ugly thing. He believes that beauty is the nourishment of the soul. It is something that gives us dignity as a species
