"Quando ho cominciato a compilare i libri della Legge di Murphy nel 1975,nessuno aveva un personal computer, digitale significava 'relativo opertinente alle dita' e internet non significava nulla. A quei tempi il lavoroeditoriale presupponeva conoscenze di grafica e di qualche processo tecnico.Oggi si può creare qualsiasi cosa, da un pamphlet che sembra una domanda diriscatto a un romanzo di quattrocento pagine, senza uscire di casa. Come diceOgden Nash "il progresso andava forse bene una volta, ma è durato troppo."Avremmo dovuto smettere prima delle video-conferenze, del bacon sintetico edelle scarpe da tennis con le zeppe." (Arthur Bloch)

Murphy's law complete : all the reasons why everything goes wrong!

For more than a quarter of a century, Murphy's Law has provided the last word on things going wrong. Positive thinking is all very fine when the world is treating you right, but when things go awry, it's Murphy's Law that comes up with the goods-the pithy revelations and undeniable truths that document our limitless potential for misplaced insight, hopeless wit, and pessimistic wisdom. This special anniversary collection features the best of Murphy's Law--plus new 21st-century entries proving that with advances in technology, even more can go wrong. For example: No matter what goes wrong, there is always somebody who knew it would. Anything is easier to take apart than to put together. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. The less you do, the less can go wrong. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.

“Psát Murphyho zákony pro oblast lékařství je ožehavá záležitost. ‘Diagnostikujete-li u pacienta x, zemře na y’ není zrovna ten nejlepší druh humoru,” uvádí Arthur Bloch svoji novou knihu, v níž jsou nabídnuty zákony pro lékaře, sestřičky, pacienty, specialisty, mediky atd. Tím, že lékařství by nemělo být o smrti, ale o životě, charakterizuje autor tuto knihu jako murphologické tao. schovat popis
