Henri Bergson

Through vivid examples and sharp analysis, he uncovers the hidden logic behind comedy, showing how humor exposes the delicate interplay between individuality and the social order. 
Narrated with clarity and sophistication by Luke Oldham, this audiobook brings Bergson’s timeless insights to life, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the everyday comic moments that shape our shared human experience.

The Perfect Vehicle - What It Is...

Melissa Holbrook Pierson

"This book, a polished, winding meditation on the theory and fractiousness of motorcycles, celebrates both their eccentric history and the wary pleasures of touring."―The New Yorker 
 
In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.
