FameRank: 4

"Arthur Bloch" (born 1948) is an United States/American writer, author of the Murphy's law/Murphy's Law books. He has also written a self-help satire called Healing Yourself with Wishful Thinking. Since 1986 he has been the producer/director of the Thinking_Allowed_(PBS)/Thinking Allowed Public Broadcasting Service/PBS television series.

The proper title of the book is Murphy's Law, and Other Reasons Why Things Go WRONG!. The word 'Wrong' is printed upside-down on the book's cover (for obvious reasons). This was the first of many Murphy's Law books.
