Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson»rank: 297par: Mitch Albom

An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to become reunited with his old ... |

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 ... |
