What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures
Autor Malcolm Gladwellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2010
In
the
past
decade,
Malcolm
Gladwell
has
written
three
books
that
have
radically
changed
how
we
understand
our
world
and
ourselves:The
Tipping
Point;Blink;
andOutliers.Now,
inWhat
the
Dog
Saw,
he
brings
together,
for
the
first
time,
the
best
of
his
writing
fromTheNew
Yorkerover
the
same
period.
Here
is
the
bittersweet
tale
of
the
inventor
of
the
birth
control
pill,
and
the
dazzling
inventions
of
the
pasta
sauce
pioneer
Howard
Moscowitz.
Gladwell
sits
with
Ron
Popeil,
the
king
of
the
American
kitchen,
as
he
sells
rotisserie
ovens,
and
divines
the
secrets
of
Cesar
Millan,
the
"dog
whisperer"
who
can
calm
savage
animals
with
the
touch
of
his
hand.
He
explores
intelligence
tests
and
ethnic
profiling
and
"hindsight
bias"
and
why
it
was
that
everyone
in
Silicon
Valley
once
tripped
over
themselves
to
hire
the
same
college
graduate.
"Good
writing,"
Gladwell
says
in
his
preface,
"does
not
succeed
or
fail
on
the
strength
of
its
ability
to
persuade.
It
succeeds
or
fails
on
the
strength
of
its
ability
to
engage
you,
to
make
you
think,
to
give
you
a
glimpse
into
someone
else's
head."What
the
Dog
Sawis
yet
another
example
of
the
buoyant
spirit
and
unflagging
curiosity
that
have
made
Malcolm
Gladwell
our
most
brilliant
investigator
of
the
hidden
extraordinary.

Descriere
In this brilliant and provocative book, covering everything from criminology to ketchup, job interviews to dog training, Malcolm Gladwell shows how the most ordinary subjects can illuminate the most extraordinary things about us and our world.
Looking under the surface of the seemingly mundane, he explores the underdogs, the overlooked, the curious, the miraculous and the disastrous, and reveals how everyone and everything contains an incredible story. What the Dog Saw is Gladwell at his very best - asking questions and finding surprising answers.
Recenzii
GREAT
PRAISE
FORWHAT
THE
DOG
SAW:
"[Malcolm Gladwell] is one of the brightest stars in the media firmament...Gladwell's clear prose and knack for upending conventional wisdom across the social sciences have madeThe Tipping Point,BlinkandOutliers, as well as his lengthy magazine features on topics ranging from cool-hunting to ketchup, into must reads."—Alex Altman,Time.com
"This evidence of a Gladwell effect helps to predict something larger: that Mr. Gladwell's new book will be as successful as his first three...This book full of short conversation pieces is a collection that plays to the author's strengths. It underscores his way of finding suitably quirky subjects (the history of women's hair-dye advertisements; the secret of Heinz's unbeatable ketchup; even the effects of women's changing career patterns on the number of menstrual periods they experience in their lifetimes) and using each as gateway to some larger meaning."—Janet Maslin,New York Times
"Gladwell is a writer of many gifts. His nose for the untold back story will have readers repeatedly muttering, "Gee, that's interesting!" He avoids shopworn topics, easy moralization and conventional wisdom, encouraging his readers to think again and think different...Some chapters are masterpieces in the art of the essay."—Steven Pinker,The New York Times Book Review
"Uniformly delightful...Malcolm Gladwell can write engrossingly about just about anything...His witty, probing articles are as essential to David Remnick'sNew Yorkeras those of Wolcott Gibbs and A.J. Liebling were to Harold Ross's...Gladwell has a gift for capturing personalities, a Borscht Belt comic's feel for timing and a bent for counterintuitive thinking. He loves to start a piece by settling you onto a cushion of received ideas, then yanking it out from under you."-—Craig Seligman,Bloomberg News
"Malcolm Gladwell triumphantly returns to his roots with this collections of his great works fromThe New YorkerMagazine....Do yourself a favor and curl up withWhat the Dog Sawthis week: It is more entertaining and edifying than should be legal for any book."—Scott Coffman,Louisville Courier-Journal
"InWhat the Dog Saw, Malcolm Gladwell leads the reader on delightful side excursions, shows with insightful conversation how one path interweaves with another, and suggests meaning-he is, in short, an interpretative naturalist of American culture."—Alice Evans,The Oregonian
