In 2012 Running Press published Crazy Sh*t Presidents Said, which
went on to gross 30,000 copies. Then in 2016 we had one of the most
contentious U.S. elections to date, making this the perfect time
for a revised edition. American Presidents have said a lot of
crazy, absurd, offensive, and regrettable things, and in that
torrent of official and unofficial remarks, some real
head-scratchers have slipped out. This revised and updated edition
includes more than 1,000 of the best and worst quotations from all
45 POTUS, now with quotes from President Trump, an updated
introduction and new Trump illustrations.
The first edition of this book was greeted with broad interest from
readers en gaged in various disciplines of biophysics. I received
many stimulating and en couraging responses, however, some of the
book's reviewers wanted to stress the fact that an extensive
literature of network theory was not included or reported in the
book. But the main aspect of the book is intended to be substantive
rather than methodical: networks simply serve as a remedy for doing
some first steps in analysing and modelling complex biological
systems. For an advanced stage in the investigation of a particular
system it may be appropriate to replace the pheno menological
network method by more detailed techniques like statistical
equations or computer simulations. According to this intention, the
second edition of the book has been enlarged by further biological
examples for network analysis, not by more network theory. There is
a completely new section on a network model for photoreception. For
this section I am obliged to J. Tiedge who did most of the detailed
calculation and to my colleague Professor Stieve with whom we have
had a very fruitful cooperation. Also I would like to mention that
this work has been sponsored by the "Deutsche Forschungsgemei
nschaft" i n the "Sonderforschungsberei ch 160." Recent results for
excitable systems represented by feedback networks have also been
included in the second edition, especially for limit cycle
networks."
The New York Times Best Seller. Part biography, part critical
appreciation, part love letter, and all fun, this enormous
full-color volume, packed with color film stills and
behind-the-scenes photography, chronicles every Murray performance
in loving detail, recounting all the milestones, legendary "Murray
stories," and controversies in the life of this enigmatic
performer. He's played a deranged groundskeeper, a bellowing lounge
singer, a paranormal exterminator, and a grouchy weatherman. He is
William James "Bill" Murray, America's greatest national treasure.
From his childhood lugging golf bags at a country club to his first
taste of success on Saturday Night Live, from his starring roles in
Hollywood blockbusters to his reinvention as a hipster icon for the
twenty-first century, The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray chronicles
every aspect of his extraordinary life and career. He's the sort of
actor who can do Hamlet and Charlie's Angels in the same year. He
shuns managers and agents, and he once agreed to voice the lead in
Garfield because he mistakenly believed it was a Coen Brothers
film. He's famous for crashing house parties all over New York
City-and if he keeps photobombing random strangers, he might just
break the Internet.
