What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one selection of ketchup? What perform football players educate us about how to hire educators? Exactly what does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?

Before decade, Malcolm about What the Dog Noticed: And Other Adventures Gladwell has created three books that have radically changed how exactly we understand the world and ourselves: The Tipping Point; Blink; and Outliers. Right now, in What your dog Saw, he brings together, for the very first time, the best of his writing from THE BRAND NEW Yorker over the same period.

This is actually the bittersweet story of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the stunning inventions from the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell rests with Ron Popeil, the king from the American kitchen, mainly because he markets rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the ‘pet whisperer’ who can calm savage animals using the touch of his hands. He explores intelligence tests and cultural 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 effectiveness of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the effectiveness of its ability to employ you, to cause you to think, to offer a glance into someone else’s mind.’ What your dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant heart and unflagging attention that have produced Malcolm Gladwell our most excellent investigator of the hidden extraordinary.
