Look Alive Out There
Author: Sloane CrosleyPublisher: MCD
ISBN: 0374711801
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Sloane Crosley returns to the form that made her a household name in really quite a lot of households: Essays! From the New York Times–bestselling author Sloane Crosley comes Look Alive Out There—a brand-new collection of essays filled with her trademark hilarity, wit, and charm. The characteristic heart and punch-packing observations are back, but with a newfound coat of maturity. A thin coat. More of a blazer, really. Fans of I Was Told There’d Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number know Sloane Crosley’s life as a series of relatable but madcap misadventures. In Look Alive Out There, whether it’s playing herself on Gossip Girl,scaling active volcanoes, crashing shivas, befriending swingers, or staring down the barrel of the fertility gun, Crosley continues to rise to the occasion with unmatchable nerve and electric one-liners. And as her subjects become more serious, her essays deliver not just laughs but lasting emotional heft and insight. Crosley has taken up the gauntlets thrown by her predecessors—Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris—and crafted something rare, affecting, and true. Look Alive Out There arrives on the tenth anniversary of I Was Told There’d be Cake, and Crosley’s essays have managed to grow simultaneously more sophisticated and even funnier. And yet she’s still very much herself, and it’s great to have her back—and not a moment too soon (or late, for that matter).

Book Description
Herbert Spencer's 'The Complete Essays' (Vol. 1-3) provides a comprehensive look into the work of one of the most influential philosophers and social theorists of the 19th century. Known for his concept of social Darwinism, Spencer's essays delve into topics such as evolution, individualism, and the role of government in society. His writing style is scholarly yet accessible, making this collection suitable for both academics and general readers interested in philosophy and sociology. Each essay is a thought-provoking exploration of complex ideas presented with clarity and depth, reflecting Spencer's deep understanding of human nature and societal dynamics. Herbert Spencer's background as a self-taught philosopher and social theorist influenced his prolific writing career. Drawing from fields such as biology, psychology, and sociology, Spencer developed a unique perspective on human society and the interactions within it. His essays reflect his commitment to rigorous intellectual inquiry and his desire to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in a rapidly changing world. I highly recommend 'The Complete Essays' by Herbert Spencer to anyone interested in delving into the works of a pivotal figure in the history of philosophy and social thought. This collection offers valuable insights into Spencer's ideas and their enduring relevance in contemporary discussions on evolution, society, and individualism.
