Over the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has become the most gifted and influential journalist in America. In The New Yorker, 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, The Tipping Point , Blink and Outliers , he has reached millions of readers. And now the very best and most famous of his New Yorker 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.
For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation-a mix tape from America's alpha mind

评分What the dog saw,我译做《狗之所见》,乃是Malcolm Gladwell为《纽约客》撰写的专栏文章之合集,计有十九篇。Gladwell是《纽约客》的签约作家,之前出过三本书,即Ourliers、Blink和《引爆点》(The Tipping Point),都有大名,尤其是最后一本。不过我久已不看英文书,就这...
评分此书是作者跨度10多年的文章,每篇文章都是一个独立的故事,从一种视角进行切入,体现了作者的洞察力,如此的有意思。 引爆点 异类 我看了,但我对异类的评价很低,至少当时看来就应该是那样,但现在回想,是不是对作者的期望太高了呢?阅读异类的时候,也总希望看到 引爆...
评分四年后,也即是2007年,Gladwell就安然事件撰写的第二篇文章“The open secrect”(《公开的秘密》)发表。在转述此篇旧文之前,且耍个花枪,来看看新闻——美国SEC诉高盛案(SEC在一项民事诉讼中,起诉高盛公司误导、欺骗投资者)。 此间曲折,还数维基百科“高盛”词条说得...
