Robert Newman

    Robert Newman je britský komik, autor a politický aktivista známy svojim bystrým politickým komentárom a satirickým pohľadom na spoločenské problémy. Prostredníctvom svojej tvorby a stand-up vystúpení sa Newman venuje zložitým spoločenským a politickým témam s jedinečnou zmesou humoru a kritiky. Jeho diela často spochybňujú status quo a vyzývajú čitateľov a divákov, aby prehodnotili svoje pohľady na svet okolo seba. S dlhou kariérou v oblasti umenia a aktivizmu si Newman získal povesť hlasu, ktorý sa nebojí skúmať nepríjemné pravdy.

      Toxic Sludge is Good for You explains exactly how the magic of modern PR transforms the favoured policies of the rich and the powerful into uncontroversial common sense. It is without doubt the most important book about the methods and objectives of corporate public relations ever published. Reading it will make life for the executives at Hill and Knowlton, Ketchum and Barston-Marstellar a little bit more difficult. And that can only be a good thing.

      This collection of essays is concerned with fatherhood. It includes disparate viewpoints—funny, poignant, and philisophical, and reflects on the first inklings of male broodiness, the nine months of pregnancy, and the moment of birth and beyond.
