Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: W W Norton & Co Inc, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; Soden tells the story of how taking a fall has evolved from an experience that the ancients used as a metaphor for damnation to one so prized that today millions crave its intense rush. We discover why falling is a universal metaphor for failure; why some people love falling while others hate it (blame it on our genes); and what this says about our tastes in food, music, politics, religion, and sex.Mixing riveting storytelling and enlightening reporting, Soden delivers a fascinating tale that explains the mass appeal of today's extreme sports and thrill-seeking technology - from roller coasters to virtual reality.
