Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant started the podcast Stuff You Should
Know back in 2008 because they were curious-curious about the world
around them, curious about what they might have missed in their
formal educations, and curious to dig deeper on stuff they thought
they understood. As it turns out, they aren't the only curious
ones. They've since amassed a rabid fan base, making Stuff You
Should Know one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Armed
with their inquisitive natures and a passion for sharing, they
research and discuss a wide variety of topics-always working to
uncover the weird, fascinating, delightful, or unexpected pieces of
any given subject, and then talking about it together in an
accessible and humorous way. The pair have now taken their
near-boundless "whys" and "hows" from your earbuds to the pages of
a book for the first time-and with it comes loads of new content,
covering subjects about which they've long wondered or wanted to
explore in greater detail. Follow along as they dig into the
underlying stories and interesting ways things fit into the world,
touching on everything from the origin of Murphy beds, to the
history of facial hair, to the psychology of being lost. An
additional layer of visual material allows the duo to further
embellish their engaging storytelling and bring these topics to
life in a snappy new way-including charts and graphs,
illustrations, and sidebars for rabbit-hole tangents and wandering
digressions. Have you ever wondered about the world around you, and
wished to see the magic in everyday things? Come get curious with
Stuff You Should Know. With Josh and Chuck as your guide, there's
something interesting about everything (...except maybe
jackhammers)

The Bare Bones Book of Screenwriting is one of the most
authoritative, popular and useful books on screenwriting, written
by a USC Cinema-Television alumni with several sold, optioned,
produced and award winning screenplays. Using a
'let's-get-down-to-brass-tacks' approach it focuses on the
essentials of screenwriting: creative, technical and business
principles. For teens, college students and beginners of all ages,
this easy to understand filmmaking resource provides screenplay
tools to help with feature film writing, short screenplays and TV
scripts: script formatting, screenplay outlines, contest and
competitions, writing the synopsis, treatments, story development,
the hero's journey, three act structure, book adaptations,
character, dialogue, structure, plot, mechanics, comedy writing,
selling a screenplay, screenwriting agents and managers, working
with producers, directors and more. Referred to in the industry as
"the bootcamp for screenwriters" this is one tool any aspiring
screenwriter needs in their toolbelt. An "all in one" guide to
writing screenplays that sell for beginners and intermediate
writers. Film school is expensive, and won't give you real world
experience. The lessons will teach you the correct format and
storytelling rules, tricks and mistakes to avoid when writing your
screenplay. Any film or TV writer can benefit as it walks the
reader through creating a professional industry standard Hollywood
screenplay to attract agents and filmmakers. Students, non WGA and
WGA members use this for help during outlining and writing
screenplays. Film school or college can only teach an aspiring film
writer so much. This screenwriter's "bible" offers trade secrets
and education only found by working as a professional screenwriter.
"The perfect guide for new writers. Sharp prose and practical
advice in simple English with all the nuts, bolts, and screws
you'll need." - Ravi Malhotra (Academy Award winning producer, West
Bank Story). "Josh has written the most digestible and realistic
I've read dealing with plot, format and the realty of marketing my
screenplay. It takes the confusion away." - Michael Klima (Editor
Lucasfilm, USC Cinema-Television Alumni, Director "My Sister's
Keeper" starring Henry Winkler and Bruce Davison)
