Fantastic book for learning about how flexibility works...

Great book for learning about flexibility, mobility and how your muscles work. It might be technical for many people, but you can always skim over the more difficult parts. It goes into every imaginable aspect of flexibility and flexibility training - what we know, what we *don't* know (yet) methods from yoga to dynamic stretches, tons of references, comparison of ideas, apllication to sport - wow. It compliments his other ( more to the point) practical book, which is "Sports Stretch". Either of both books are a must for anyone interested in the technical aspects of flexibility as well as sports training. Everytime I look into this book, I learn something new.
