In Arthur's Shadow: Daily Musings on Exercise, a Tribute to Arthur Jones - by Gary Bannister. In Arthur's Shadow is, in essence, a tribute to Nautilus inventor, Arthur Jones who forever changed exercise and rehabilitative medicine. It is an outline of his contributions to the fields of exercise and rehabilitative medicine. From the innovative equipment and strength-training principles he introduced as founder of Nautilus Sports Medical Industries to the physiological discoveries of specific muscle testing as chairman of MedX Corporation, the book delves into the theory behind the development of Nautilus machines, features Jones' greatest legacy - the MedX Lumbar Extension machine - and reveals the logic and brilliance behind his search for the truth. Not a 'how to' book, the format is a series of anecdotes - written as daily musings - that unveils the character and integrity of one of the few, if not the only genius in the field of exercise. At the same time, it highlights the author's experience with those viewpoints. Arthur Jones was eccentric, opinionated and generally "outraged" by the ignorance, myth and fraud that engulfed his fields of choice. A master communicator, he was all about education; his style, candid entertainment. In Arthur's Shadow is a bit of both - education and entertainment.
