Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values»rank: 799par: Robert M. Pirsig
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of 'quality' and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world pathologically obsessed with quantity. Although set as a story of a cross-country trip on a motorcycle by a father and son, it is more nearly a journey through 2,000 years of Western philosophy. For some people, this has been a truly life-changing book. |

Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting»rank: 5557par: Robert McKee
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Writing for the screen is quirky business. A writer must labor meticulously over his or her prose, yet very little of that prose is ever heard by filmgoers. The few words that do reach the audience, in the form of the characters' dialogue, are, according to Robert McKee, best left to last in the writing process. ('As Alfred Hitchcock once remarked, 'When the screenplay has been written and the dialogue has been added, we're ready to shoot.' ') ln Story, McKee puts into book form what he ... |

The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal»rank: 6904par: Jared Diamond
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jared Diamond states the theme of his book up-front: 'How the human species changed, within a short time, from just another species of big mammal to a world conqueror; and how we acquired the capacity to reverse all that progress overnight.' The Third Chimpanzee is, in many ways, a prequel to Diamond's prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel. While Guns examines 'the fates of human societies,' this work surveys the longer sweep of human evolution, from our origin as just another chimpanzee a few million years ago. Diamond ... |

Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)»rank: 1215par: Tom Vanderbilt
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Amazon Best of the Month, July 2008: How could no one have written this book before? These days we spend almost as much time driving as we do eating (in fact, we do a lot of our eating while driving), but l can't remember the last time l saw a book on all the time we spend stuck in our cars. lt's a topic of nearly universal interest, though: everybody has a strategy for beating the traffic.
