Driving Us Insane
Author: Toby Clements
Publisher: Atlantic Books Ltd
ISBN: 0857893599
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Driving Us Insane reveals the presenter of TV's cult motoring series Bottom Gear as he has never been revealed before. Week by week, car by car, stunt by stunt and challenge by challenge, it describes - in forthright, no-holds-barred detail - the events of a year to remember in the life of a legend of British broadcasting. From his inadvertent running down of Roger Moore in an Aston Martin DBS to his gate-crashing of the set of a gay porn movie in a golf buggy, this is Klaxon laid bare. UTTERLY, TOTALLY, BARE. The cars that inspire him, the friends and colleagues who admire him, the women who desire him, the ramblers, environ-mentalists and lesbian schoolteachers who rile him. If Driving Us Insane was a car, it would be a 7.3-litre, 12-cylinder Pagani Zonda F driving down the M40 Chiltern gap at 150 mph with a JBL GTO-1202D Subwoofer belting out The Who's 'Won't Get Fooled Again' while Myleene Klass swoons naked in the passenger seat. ONLY BETTER. MUCH BETTER.

The Madhouse Effect
Author: Michael E. Mann
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231541813
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The award-winning climate scientist Michael E. Mann and the Pulitzer Prize–winning political cartoonist Tom Toles have been on the front lines of the fight against climate denialism for most of their careers. They have witnessed the manipulation of the media by business and political interests and the unconscionable play to partisanship on issues that affect the well-being of billions. The lessons they have learned have been invaluable, inspiring this brilliant, colorful escape hatch from the madhouse of the climate wars. The Madhouse Effect portrays the intellectual pretzels into which denialists must twist logic to explain away the clear evidence that human activity has changed Earth's climate. Toles's cartoons collapse counter-scientific strategies into their biased components, helping readers see how to best strike at these fallacies. Mann's expert skills at science communication aim to restore sanity to a debate that continues to rage against widely acknowledged scientific consensus. The synergy of these two climate science crusaders enlivens the gloom and doom of so many climate-themed books—and may even convert die-hard doubters to the side of sound science.

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
All of us have a family - some family is very small with only two people, while there are one hundred people in some family. Familly is not always blood-relative, never-the-less they're family. A family is a living organism made up of raw emotions, sentiments, love, hate, war, and peace. Our family generally has a full cast of characters. Protagonists, antagonists, heroes, heroines, villains, saints, angel, and nuts. Our family is our best friend and they’re our worst enemy. They are the enemy within and there’s no escaping them. Family is all we have. A family is the richest blessings in life. They are for eternity. Live life out loud, and laugh at yourself. Let the heavens speak truth to you. Run with the wind and capture the essence of your soul. Spread your winds and transcend beyond space and time.

American Melancholy
Author: Laura D. Hirshbein
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813545846
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
As American Melancholy reveals, if you read about depression anywhere today--medical journal, popular magazine, National Institute of Mental Health pamphlet, or pharmaceutical company drug promotional literature--you will find three main pieces of information either explicitly stated or strongly implied: depression is a disease (like any other physical disease); it is extraordinarily prevalent in the world; and it occurs about twice as frequently in women as in men. Yet, depression was not classified as a disease until the 1980 publication of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-III (DSM-III). How is it that such an illness, thought to affect between 14 and 17 million Americans, was not specifically defined until the late twentieth century? American Melancholy traces the growth of depression as an object of medical study and as a consumer commodity and illustrates how and why depression came to be such a huge medical, social, and cultural phenomenon. It is the first book to address gender issues in the construction of depression, explores key questions of how its diagnosis was developed, how it has been used, and how we should question its application in American society.
