Nezinau, ar rekomenduociau pirkt. Yra naudingos informacijos, bet viskas tokiom didelem raidem parasyta. Knyga tokio dydzio, bet informacijos joje mazoka. Ir tikrai nera verta tokiu pinigu. Gal uz kokius 3-5eur ir verta but perskaityt.
In overall, informacija ne tiek, kiek mokomoji, bet labiau informacine. Amerikieciu ziniasklaida, propagandos ir etc. Yra tokiu “key” minciu, kur verta zinoti. Perskaityti. Bet realiai, tai gali padaryti kokioj bibliotekoj. Net nepirkes knygos.
Be to, kaip ir sakiau, knyga tik atrodo didele, bet ja galima lengvai perskaityt vienu prisedimu, skyrus geras 2-3h greitesnio skaitymo.

The most propagandish book on propaganda I have ever read. Although there are a number of real rules for communication, marketing and propaganda, everything is put together in such a way that it only remains to shake your head and be terrified. I understand that published in a semi-anarchist style, but one of the main tools of propaganda is to divide people into “them” and “we,” to label, to search for enemies, and to raise emotions. This book is based on just that. No wonder it is so popular with various antivaxers, marginalists and other disadvantaged.

I hope this book is just failed satire.

Nelabai turiu ką pakomentuoti. Niekinė knyga. Tezių kratinys. Surašyti pavieniai teiginiai. Nei gilinamasi, nei aiškinama. Nei pramoga, nei žinios. Iliustracijos ir tekstas tiktų nebent skaidrėms. Bet kaip knyga - kažkoks niekalas.

A bit basic but outlines the issues with spin and propaganda really clearly with great quotes to back it up.

Keista knyga, neaišku kam skirta. Teksto dydis kaip pradinukui ar dar mažesniam vaikui. Vien tezės ir jokių realių faktų (kai kur yra po kelis sakinius). Pati knygos idėja gera, paveikslėliai ir schemos informatyvūs, bet teksto norėtųsi žymiai daugiau.

Very visual, not much text though, but a fun one
