Children of the Sun (1998) is a one of a kind pictorial anthology from Germany to California...covering the period from 1883 to 1949, and includes short biographies of 16 individuals...naturopaths, philosophers, nature boys and 4 social reform movements. But the story is told mostly through the 144 photos, both color and black and white. It clearly describes the important links between the German health and nature pioneers, and their latter day American counterparts. Revealing the true origins of the organic, alternative and natural lifestyles which eventually took root on American soil and have become the huge phenomenon that they are today, this unusual book will forever challenge the historical media conception of our great-grandparents generation, while revealing the powerful influence many of these people had on our future.
