What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures


<p>Over the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has become the most gifted and influential journalist in America. In <i>The New Yorker,</i> his writings are such must-reads that the magazine charges advertisers significantly more money for ads that run within his articles. With his #1 bestsellers, <i>The Tipping Point</i>, <i>Blink</i> and <i>Outliers</i>, he has reached millions of readers. And now the very best and most famous of his <i>New Yorker</i> pieces are collected in a brilliant and provocative anthology. Among the pieces: his investigation into why there are so many different kinds of mustard but only one kind of ketchup; a surprising assessment of what makes for a safer automobile; a look at how we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job; an examination of machine built to predict hit movies; the reasons why homelessness might be easier to solve than manage; his famous profile of inventor and entrepreneur Ron Popeil; a look at why employers love personality tests; a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in; the saga of the quest to invent the perfect cookie; and a look at hair dye and the hidden history of postwar America.<br> <br> For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation-a mix tape from America's alpha mind</p>
