Download or read book How PowerPoint Makes You Stupid written by Franck Frommer and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 500 million users worldwide, Microsoft's PowerPoint software has become the ubiquitous tool for nearly all forms of public presentation—in schools, government agencies, the military, and, of course, offices everywhere. In this revealing and powerfully argued book, author Franck Frommer shows us that PowerPoint's celebrated ease and efficiency actually mask a profoundly disturbing but little-understood transformation in human communication. Using fascinating examples (including the most famous PowerPoint presentation of all: Colin Powell's indictment of Iraq before the United Nations), Frommer systematically deconstructs the slides, bulleted lists, and flashy graphics we all now take for granted. He shows how PowerPoint has promoted a new, slippery “grammar,” where faulty causality, sloppy logic, decontextualized data, and seductive showmanship have replaced the traditional tools of persuasion and argument. How PowerPoint Makes You Stupid includes a fascinating mini-history of PowerPoint's emergence, as well as a sobering and surprising account of its reach into the most unsuspecting nooks of work, life, and education. For anyone concerned with the corruption of language, the dumbing-down of society, or the unchecked expansion of “efficiency” in our culture, here is a book that will become a rallying cry for turning the tide.

Download or read book Overbooked written by Elizabeth Becker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Travel is no longer a past-time but a colossal industry, arguably one of the biggest in the world and second only to oil in importance for many poor countries. One out of 12 people in the world are employed by the tourism industry which contributes $6.5 trillion to the world's economy. To investigate the size and effect of this new industry, Elizabeth Becker traveled the globe. She speaks to the Minister of Tourism of Zambia who thinks licensing foreigners to kill wild animals is a good way to make money and then to a Zambian travel guide who takes her to see the rare endangered sable antelope. She travels to Venice where community groups are fighting to stop the tourism industry from pushing them out of their homes, to France where officials have made tourism their number one industry to save their cultural heritage; and on cruises speaking to waiters who earn $60 a month--then on to Miami to interview their CEO. Becker's sharp depiction reveals travel as a product; nations as stewards. Seeing the tourism industry from the inside out, the world offers a dizzying range of travel options but very few quiet getaways"--

Book excerpt: BETH ARNOLD'S Jours of Our Lives is the narrative of one couple's wild-card bet on themselves. In 2002, after living 13 years in their showplace of a Craftsman bungalow in Little Rock, Arkansas, Arnold-a journalist, essayist, and novelist-and her husband, author James Morgan, decided it was time for a change.And what a change they made! When Morgan, a book writer and amateur painter, was stumped for a new book idea, Arnold saw the chance to pull out a dream of hers: to live in France. Arnold's late brother, New York decorator Brent Arnold-whom David Halberstam had called "the talent of his generation"-had given the couple vivid decorating advice when they'd married and moved into their Craftsman house: "Matisse colors and Vuillard patterns." Brent Arnold's advice had turned James Morgan into a devotee of Henri Matisse. So on a day in 2001, when Beth was working with James to help him discover a new book idea, she suggested a facet of artistic life--in this case, Matisse's life--that gripped Morgan: Most people look, but they don't see in the deepest sense of the word. Her idea for him was a book called "Learning to See," in which he would follow in the footsteps of Henri Matisse. The book became Chasing Matisse, and soon the two of them had sold their beloved house in Little Rock and embarked on a life-changing journey through France, Corsica, Morocco, and beyond.Jours of Our Lives, which began life as Beth Arnold's daily blog recounting the soap-opera arc of their crazy and heart-wrenching road trip in pursuit of a creative dream, stands today as a vivid depiction of one couple's brave and unwavering commitment to a life that called them. "Beth Arnold," writes William Whitworth, editor emeritus of The Atlantic, "is a reporter, a novelist, a memoirist, a cook, and a mom, but perhaps most of all she is a wanderer and a gifted travel writer. With wit and offhand ease, Arnold shows us her world: how to get there, where to stay, what it looks like, how it sounds, and what it tastes like."

Download or read book Paris Girls Secret Society written by Tom Brosnahan and published by Travel Info Exchange, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three American girls from very different backgrounds arrive in Paris in the autumn of 1967 for a college year abroad: shy but brainy little Charity, from a Boston Brahmin family; gorgeous Amaleen, West Virginia nouveau riche man-killer; politically-committed Josie, from a prominent African-American family near Chicago. Unlikely roommates, their prejudices fall away as they grow into friendship, but May 1968 shatters their cozy world: the Sorbonne explodes in riots as millions of students and workers revolt and France hurtles toward chaos. The girls flee their Latin Quarter apartment, one to explore-and risk death-in the Dordogne's prehistoric caves; one to a lavish life in a Loire chateau where hidden terror lurks; one to dangerous exhilaration on the barricades. Along the way they stumble into love: tender, lustful, perverse, and sublime. In only a month they learn far more about who they are and who they want to be. For the Paris Girls Secret Society, life and love will never be the same.
