About This Item
Gale, Cengage Learning, 2008. Hardcover. Fine/No Dj. Octavo., hardcover, fine, as new. in near fine brown and gold boards. Giftable. 285 pp. A summation of everything the author has come to believe. Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form--a book that will be shared for generations. A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? 206 deckled pp.
