The Sauna
With a history going back at least one thousand years, the sauna is ready for a new generation of enthusiasts seeking health, pleasure, and peace of mind, and Rob Roy is ready to recruit! "If the sauna is just a bath, then Buckingham Palace is just a house." So writes sauna expert and intrepid do-it-yourselfer Roy in this new, updated version of The Sauna. This completely revised and expanded edition of The Sauna contains everything you ever wanted to know about the famous "Finnish bath." In this inviting book, Roy shares his infectious enthusiasm for the sauna and provides a complete, detailed guide to sauna building, along with resources for equipment and supplies. The Sauna is replete with history, tradition, health benefits, instructions for proper use and maintenance, as well as step-by-step instructions for building a variety of cordwood masonry saunas and, new to this edition, conventionally wood-framed saunas. The beautiful color photographs, also new to this edition, will inspire you to create your own sauna haven.

Sauna as Symbol
Every culture has a secret ingredient, and for Finnish culture and society it is the sauna. The sauna is an actual bath and bathhouse which in practical life brings people together in ways otherwise impossible. And the sauna as symbol brings together and integrates the many contradictory ideals and realities of Finnish society and culture. Through the sauna, nature and culture, the individual and society, the person and the polity, may be woven into an integral whole.

Health benefits of Sauna
This easy to read guide book covers the origins of sauna along with the different types, and how saunas are used in Finland. The book also looks at the incredible findings of leading researcher and cardiologist Dr. Jari Laukkanen Ph.D on the health benefits of taking regular saunas. "There is so much misinformation and unsubstantiated claims in the sauna industry, that it’s nice to read sensible, well researched information from a true enthusiast. Regular sauna bathing is primarily about relaxation and self-indulgence, but when used correctly and to it’s full potential, it can bring additional health benefits as this book outlines." Eero Kilpi Ph.D. President The North American Sauna Society
