A memoir by a pioneer in the world of Late Night interview hosting. His personality was attractive to most, but the grind wore him down and he was gone to the TV station that he owned in New Hampshire. The modern host/pundit style was largely created by him. The book is worth reading. ( ) Collection of essays at least in part done by the then-host of the NBC network late night chat show. How much is Paar, and how much is his ghost-writer, is a matter of question, though judging from various interviews I've seen with the man, a good portion of the book must have sprung from him individually. Not much in the way of deep insight, but one does get a fairly good look at what his show must have been like, and how it differed sharply from the kind of shows we see today. A definite curio, worth reading. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
In this "chilling, in-depth examination of a rapidly emerging global crisis" (In These Times), Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke, two of the most active opponents to the privatization of water show how, contrary to received wisdom, water mainly flows uphill to the wealthy. Our most basic resource may one day be limited: our consumption doubles every twenty years-twice the rate of population increase. At the same time, increasingly transnational corporations are plotting to control the world's dwindling water supply. In England and France, where water has already been privatized, rates have soared, and water shortages have been severe. The major bottled-water producers-Perrier, Evian, Naya, and now Coca-Cola and PepsiCo-are part of one of the fastest-growing and least-regulated industries, buying up freshwater rights and drying up crucial supplies. A truly shocking expos? that is a call to arms to people around the world, Blue Gold shows in frightening detail why, as the vice president of the World Bank has pronounced, "The wars of the next century will be about water."
