The Lecture Compendium by Bruce Bernstein
Putting together this “compendium” of many of Bruce Bernstein’s favorite lecture items has not been the easiest of tasks. The material in this book dates from well over twenty years ago to some of his most recent ideas, and has been drawn from many different sets of notes, booklets, and pamphlets. Bruce has tried to both keep the material as close to how it originally appeared while also attempting to create a cohesive style and look for this book. When appropriate, he’s corrected some early typos, and has added some hints and touches that he’s developed over the years as well. But Bruce also had a lot of fun going back over the years to see how his thinking has changed (or sometimes stayed the same!) and reliving the many enjoyable and interesting times he spent lecturing for groups all across the country. As in his “actual” lectures, Bruce has endeavored to include “something for everyone.” I have no doubt you’ll find this eclectic collection of items to be practical, deceptive, and most of all, entertaining.
