Preface (2)

I name this project a 'book' because it is a book and it is not a book. It is published as it is written, proofed, edited, re-written. Errors remain until I happen back to that particular page and see them glaring at me. 

[I had just written some paragraphs here. I wrote about some of the frustrations of writing this 'book' the way I am doing it: directly to the web-page. How occasionally long passages would vanish without a trace. I could write in my laptop word processing program, proof and polish, copy/paste. I am training myself to hit Save regularly and so I hit Save and all that writing vanished without a trace. I don't want to write it all again. I remember the tail end of what I had written. I had just described my approach to writing this 'book' as "discursive, desultory, and saltatory." I was being punished for not just saying I jump around; write a little here, a little there. One day I have hit upon the real key and two days later (sometimes three) it is replaced by a far better idea. Get on with it.]

This 'book' is about orthobionomy and it is about Ortho-Bionomy®. More than that it is about the Body. Ortho-Bionomy® is a topic of limited, special interest. Orthobionomy potentially can appeal to a broader audience. All of us have a vested interest in the Body. Orthobionomy is (among other things) strategies to coax the Body out of its cartesian cage. I hope to avoid screeding about how this body has been foisted upon us for hundreds of years.
