[ED: Buch], [PU: HARBOUR PUB], Neuware - Vancouver news icon and co-host of CTVs The Last Word, Mike McCardell is the crafter of human-interest stories that counteract the doom and gloom of conventional news programming. With his unerring instinct for teasing out the powerful hook of human connection from the most innocuous (or bizarre) events, McCardells unique perspective has endeared him to hundreds of thousands of fans. He has also collected many of his favourite stories within several essay collections that have sold a combined total of seventy-five thousand copies, making him as well known for his written tales as for his TV appearances. Recently, McCardell also explored new genres with such titles as Haunting Vancouver and Cardboard Ocean, delving into both the history of Vancouver and his personal history. With None of This Was Planned, McCardell returns to his classic format of the quirky and uplifting short essays that established him as a local legend. Fans of his previous works will delight in a new selection of stories featuring McCardells familiar voice and offering both moments of surprise and the reassurance that joy and humour can be sparked from the simplest acts., DE, [SC: 2.70], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 231x152x25 mm, 320, [GW: 612g], Banküberweisung, Offene Rechnung, Kreditkarte, PayPal, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten), Internationaler Versand<

Mike McCardell has spent his life tracking down thousands upon thousands of stories, from the uplifting to the sobering, from the bizarre to the sublime. As the author of many books and a lifelong reporter, he has stored up a vast collection of anecdotes and is never short of a tale to tell. With None of This Was Planned, McCardell takes us behind the scenes to show the sometimes agonizing, sometimes accidental, always reaffirming experience of hunting down a good story with the clock ticking toward air time. Between the frantic race to find stories against the odds, the collection covers such topics as the difficulty of counting guinea pigs, Vancouver''s own volcano, the cruelty of goldfish shoes, the Six o''Clock Gun and other gems from Vancouver''s past, the violent history of the tulip, the impossibility that Mike would ever admit to watching Survivor, Burnaby crow parties and the secret to a perfect chocolate-chip cookie. As McCardell describes, you don''t have to be a professional to collect stories of your own. All you need to do is take a walk and keep your eyes open-or open a good book. So sit back and get ready to add this batch of stories to your own collection. | None Of This Was Planned by Mike McCardell Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Humour > Comedy > Essays P10185, Mike McCardell<
