SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER An engaging no-holds-barred memoir that reveals Howie Mandel's ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD--and how it has shaped his life Howie Mandel is one of the most recognizable names in entertainment. But there are aspects of his personal and professional life he's never talked about publicly--until now. Twelve years ago, Mandel first told the world about his "germophobia." He's recently started discussing his adult ADHD as well. Now, for the first time, he reveals the details of his struggle with these challenging disorders. He speaks candidly about the ways his condition has affected his personal life--as a son, husband, and father of three. Along the way, the versatile performer reveals "the deal" behind his remarkable rise through the show-business ranks, sharing never-before-told anecdotes about his career. As heartfelt as it is hilarious, Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me is the story of one man's effort to draw comic inspiration out of his darkest, most vulnerable places., Through a specific architectural lens, this book exposes the role the British Empire played in the development of apartheid. Through reference to previously unexamined archival material, the book uncovers a myriad of mechanisms through which Empire laid the foundations onto which the edifice of apartheid was built. It unearths the significant role British architects and British architectural ideas played in facilitating white dominance and racial segregation in pre-apartheid Cape Town. To achieve this, the book follows the progenitor of the Garden City Movement, Ebenezer Howard, in its tripartite structure of Country/Town/Suburb, acknowledging the Garden City Movement's dominance at the Cape at the time. This tripartite structure also provides a significant match to postcolonial schemas of Self/Other/Same which underpin the three parts to the book. Much is owed to Edward Said's discourse-analytical approach in Orientalism - and the work of Homi Bhabha - in the definition and interpretation of archival material. This material ranges across written and visual representations in journals and newspapers, through exhibitions and events, to legislative acts, as well as the physicality of the various architectural objects studied. The book concludes by drawing attention to the ideological potency of architecture which tends to be veiled more so through its ubiquitous presence and in doing so, it presents not only a a story peculiar to Imperial Cape Town, but one inherent to architecture more broadly. The concluding chapter also provides a timely mirror for the machinations currently at play in establishing a 'post-apartheid' architecture and urbanity in the 'new' South Africa., NATIONAL BESTSELLER An engaging no-holds-barred memoir that reveals Howie Mandel's ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD-and how it has shaped his life Howie Mandel is one of the most recognizable names in entertainment.

Good book, laughter included.
Very similar traits i share with HM - though less severe, i understand and respect his phobias and fears mentioned in this book. THis book is more a read about his life from youth until current day and how he used humor to survive. I found it interesting to see how his failures did not deter him. He is somebody, we all are, he became someone special by getting a break, and he ran with it..His timing, not detering from his goals, and staying the course led him to where he is this day. I much enjoyed this, its not for everyone but what is... I got amany laughs from it and would recommend it -to the right understanding person. Go for it, nothing to lose, Love reading i think others will too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
