Sinopsis

ABOUT THE BOOK
 
Throughout our lives we have all encountered, at one point or another, people who have taught us some new insight about life, the universe, and our place in it. A beloved grandparent passing on the wisdom they have collected throughout the years, or a teacher whose guidance was instrumental in forming us into the person we are today. For Mitch Albom, the person who made that difference in his life was Morrie Schwartz.
 
Tuesdays with Morrie chronicles a professor's final lecture to his former student with whom he reconnects in his final days. The book has sold over 14 million copies to date and has more than 50 editions the world over. At its core, the book really tells two stories. On one hand, it narrates Morrie's final lessons for Mitch Albom. But it also talks about Morrie's rich and colorful life. Both stories are framed in the context of Tuesday lessons,which is where the book gets its title.
 
MEET THE AUTHOR
 
Joseph Pritchard is passionate reader and writer. He has a bachelor's degree in Biology and also completed a degree in medicine. He has written for other prominent online publications and enjoys writing on a variety of topics.
 
EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
 
Because the book's focus is on Mitch and Morrie, much of the narrative is told via flashbacks that highlight moments in the lives of both men. The story begins at the end of Mitch's initial relationship with Morrie, his college graduation. During this time, Mitch gives his professor a tan leather briefcase with Morrie's initials monogrammed on it. He promises to stay in touch. But the promises is forgotten and many years would pass before both friends are reunited.
 
Since graduating, Mitch went on to become a newspaper journalist and led a life in the fastlane, constantly working and traveling. Prior to his success as a journalist, Mitch was forced to abandon a failing musical career. Mitch becomes so fixated with work that it crowds out other aspects of his life.

    Bobby Vinton, “The Most Successful Unknown,” says he never wanted to be a musician; he wanted to be a football player instead. In fact, his parents would bribe him 25 cents an hour just to get him to practice his clarinet.  Vinton sat down with Wink Martindale in 1973 to discuss his success with “Blue on Blue” and the story behind “Roses are Red.” He says writing songs is difficult and he isn’t sure who is buying his albums. Vinton also discusses putting together a pop music band in high school and how he began his acting career.

    The Best-Selling Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law, and Forensic Science series! No holds barred law enforcement philosophy Whether you're a hard luck grunt working the street or a white shirt administrator who'd need a GPS to find it, Way of the Warrior is for you. A sixteen year veteran of patrol, investigations and narcotics work, as well as a second-generation cop, best-selling author Bernard Schaffer has something to say about the True Blue Line. Equal parts biography and instructional guide, Way of the Warrior focuses on the core of the individual officer: the warrior spirit. It discusses how to successfully uphold the law and not lose your mind in the process. From the author: "The police are a modern warrior society. We're protecting the homeland and families from every threat conceivable, doing it on rotating shifts that interfere with our home lives and physical well-being, and facing insidious politics in the process. The Job is far more than just carrying a badge and a gun. Way of the Warrior is my perspective on what it means to serve and protect. All the emails I get from cops around the world tell me I'm not alone, and if you're reading this, neither are you."

    In this accessible study, a journalist examines the science, philosophy, and sociology behind being a sports fan. 
     
    Sports fandom is either an aspect of a person's fundamental identity, or completely incomprehensible to those who aren’t fans at all. What is happening in our brains and bodies when we feel strong emotion while watching a game? How do sports fans resemble political junkies, and why do we form such a strong attachment to a sports team? Journalist Eric Simons presents in-depth research in an accessible and brilliant way, sure to interest readers of Malcolm Gladwell.  
     
    Through reading the literature and attending neuroscience conferences, talking to fans, psychologists, and scientists, and working through his issues as part of a collaboration with the NPR science program RadioLab, Eric Simons hoped to find an answer that would explain why the attractive force of this relationship with treasured sports teams is so great that we can’t leave it. 
     
    Praise for The Secret Lives of Sports Fans 
     
    “Adroitly mixing research with feature reporting, Simons unveils some intriguing discoveries. . . . There’s a lot of science to digest, but Simons’s affable writing style—and his great eagerness to profile actual people, including himself—infuses the data with heart and soul.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “An intriguing ride through “all the wondrous quirks and oddities in human nature.” —Kirkus Reviews
