Hardback. Condizione: Good. Actor, doctor, sculptor, TV personality, director of both film and opera--Sir Jonathan Miller's career covers a vast range of artistic endeavors and intellectual pursuits.

Miller casts light on many oft-overlooked aspects of the world, and reminds us with his trademark wit and perception that to this day he is a unique presence on the cultural scene. A celebration of one of our finest minds, On Further Reflection brings together the best of Jonathan Miller for the first time in one collection. …
