Delayed Gratification

Misc

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Misc. is a playful and modern take on the classic Miscellany: a highly entertaining and unapologetically arbitrary collection of curious facts. In one slim, pocket-sized volume you can learn:
- How many spiders have been to space?
- What removing goal keepers would do to the Premier League table?
- What is the sausage count of novelty Christmas hits
- What is the location of the UK's most godless city

Misc. will spark a million spirited pub and dinner table conversations, as well as prompting overly long stays and irrepressible guffaws in toilets across the globe. Designed to be dipped into and revisited time and time again, this repository of things you didn't know you needed to know.

Autorenporträt

Rob Orchard, Christian Tate and Marcus Webb are the co-founders of The Slow Journalism Company, publishers of Delayed Gratification, the world's first magazine dedicated to Slow Journalism. Launched in 2011 as an antidote to a kneejerk news cycle that prioritises speed over depth, detail and context, it has gone on to attract media praise and subscribers from around the globe. Each issue returns to the events of the quarter after the dust has settled to tell the stories the rest of the media has missed - or mistold. Leading an award-winning team of international journalists, editors Rob and Marcus conduct on-the-groundreporting, interview experts and crunch through vast data sets to capture illuminating truths on subjects as varied as the prospects of cold fusion and the politics of the Eurovision song contest.
