Don't Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style
Randy Olson
Drawing on the author's own evolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker, this book shares the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. It argues that the key is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human.
