Survey of the main trends of scientific research and the dissemination of scientific knowledge in U.A.R.

Description:

Brings together, for the first time, the best of Gladwell's writing from The New Yorker in the past decade, including: the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill; the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz; spotlighting Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen; and the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer." Gladwell also explores intelligence tests, ethnic profiling and "hindsight bias, " and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate.
