Audio Book (CD). Etat : Good. Unabridged. Malcolm Gladwell focuses on "minor geniuses" and idiosyncratic behavior to illuminate the ways all of us organize experience in this "delightful" (Bloomberg News) collection of writings from The New Yorker.What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?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; and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw, he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from TheNew Yorker over 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 Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.

Audio Book (CD). Etat : Good. Unabridged. Learn what sets high achievers apart -- from Bill Gates to the Beatles -- in this #1 bestseller from "a singular talent" (New York Times Book Review).In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Henry, Marie H. (illustrateur). 1st English-language ed. Product Description It's a match made in heaven when Brown Bear and White Bear meet in a winter wonderland, and the whole village of Hazelnutley gleefully follows the development of their romance From Publishers Weekly Bear meets bear, marries bear and lives happily ever after in this affectionately illustrated book about true love that happily knows no complications. Lumbering Brown Bear is entranced with the pink-frocked White Bear he sees while skating. They meet and spend time becoming good friends, and eventually, Brown Bear writes a love letter. After admiring White Bear's "eyes as bright as stars" and "fur whiter than the moon," he asks, "Would you like to look at the moon and the stars / with me always and forever?" Without further ado, they invite their friends to the wedding, where Brown Bear places "a crown of wild roses on White Bear's head" and they dance until "the last of the stars slip out of the sky." Henry's high-spirited characters are as expressive and cheerful as Holabird's in Angelina Ballerina, and they provide a witty accompaniment to Beck's innocent, delicate text. Ages 4-8. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-- A superb, refreshing glance at the blooming of real love, sensitively told in terms that children will readily understand. A dashing brown bear is smitten by a lovely white bear gliding across the neighborhood skating pond. Her graceful presence works romantic magic on his heart. Thinking of little else, he accidentally manages to make her acquaintance when he stumbles clumsily at her feet. Happily, it is the beginning of a wonderful courtship. As their love grows, Brown Bear writes a tender letter proposing marriage and White Bear accepts. Surrounded by their friends at story's end, the happy couple is wed and they dance the night away. For young readers puzzled by the perplexities of adult behavior, Beck has unraveled one aspect of the mystery. Henry's delicate illustrations are an ideal companion to the mood of the text. Her observant studies are perfectly paired with a sense of whimsy to create an imaginative watercolor world with a natural aura. Inventive page layouts offer nicely varied images and interesting sequences of action. An outstanding collaborative effort. --Virginia E.

Audio Book (CD). Etat : Good. Unabridged. A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this "extraordinary" and beloved Pulitzer Prize winner that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review).Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into a wealthy and insular art community.As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love -- and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this "soaring masterpiece" examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate (Ron Charles, Washington Post).
