The secret histories of secondhand books | Books
Secondhand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, London, in 1951. Photograph: John Chillingworth/Hulton-Deutsch Collection CDs, DVDS, and e-reads are all well and good when it comes to gift-giving at Christmas, but as far as I'm concerned, for sheer emotional wallop, the old-fashioned physical book is hard to beat. After all, it's the ideal opportunity to foist a well-loved novel onto someone who is now morally obliged to read the thing (and, indeed, profess to like it). Furthermore, there is generous scope / enough rope to let a carefully-chosen book speak volumes about how you feel about the receiver.

Loading latest prices, please wait Eye-opening, informative, enjoyable. Rating: 100% Ciulla covers a broad range of topics dealing with work -- its meaning throughout history, workplace ideologies/culture (i.e., how to get workers to want to do what they'd ordinarily rather not), the end of workplace loyalty, how we determine what is meaningful work, etc. -- and she does so in a very readable way. This book will likely make you think about the work choices you have made and have yet to make, and although it's not a practical, how-to-get-the-job-you-love type of book (nor is it meant to be), it will give you a broader perspective that will arm you to make wiser decisions.

La scorsa settimana, parlando dell'ingresso di Google nel mercato degli ebook, chiudevamo la discussione segnalando un articolo interessante, intitolato Social media invades book world . E accennavamo al fatto che una parte delle nostre abitudini relative al libro, «l'esperienza culturale di lettura», diventa sempre più sociale. É abbastanza evidente che la lettura è un processo individuale e solitario. Fa parte del gioco di immersione che il nostro rapporto con il testo ci regala: mentre leggiamo entriamo compleamente nel mondo che ci sta raccontando l'autore e la nostra immaginazione lo ricrea quasi con pari merito. É questa una delle ragioni per cui molti di noi soffrono passando dal libro al film: per dirla con l'efficace boutade di Gaspar Torriero, «Quando esci dal cinema e dici"era meglio il libro", in realtà intendi "era meglio il film che mi sono fatto io"».
