He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling \"On Bullshit,\" so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300123655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300123654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.54w x 0.93d","brand":"Stephen Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913592963327,"sku":"9780300123654","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ddff4395-08b7-485e-8975-2baefa7b0a7f.jpg?v=1680621249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversation-stephen-miller-9780300123654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
