Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson»rank: 310par: Mitch Albom
Chroniques et points de vue:From :No one but Mitch Albom could have read Tuesdays with Morrie so effectively. As the author of this inspirational true story, Albom uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor, empathy, and emotion. lt's an honest reading, and the underlying timbre of private memory pushes it past mere recitation to pure storytelling. The titular Morrie was Morrie Schwartz, Albom's university professor 20 years before the events being narrated. An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to become reunited with his old ... |

Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-dos clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that ... |

Chroniques et points de vue:From :This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. lt was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies.

Chroniques et points de vue:From :lnheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene. Suppose, instead of thinking about organisms using genes to reproduce themselves, as we had since Mendel's work was rediscovered, we turn it around and imagine that 'our' genes build and maintain us in order to make more genes. That simple reversal seems to answer many puzzlers which had stumped scientists for years, and we haven't thought ... |
