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
【加】马尔科姆•格拉德威尔(Malcolm Gladwell)被《快公司》誉为“21世纪的彼得•德鲁克”,曾是《华盛顿邮报》商务科学专栏作家,目前是《纽约客》杂志专职作家。2005年被《时代》周刊评为全球最有影响力的100位人物之一。他的代表作品《引爆点》、《异类》、《眨眼之间》均创造了书市神话。《纽约时报》更是把格拉德威尔对社会思潮的影响称为“格拉德威尔效应”(Gladwell Effect)。
马尔科姆出生于英格兰,是牙买加人的后裔。他在加拿大长大,现居纽约市。
1953年12月,在休•赫夫纳创办的《花花公子》创刊号上有这样一段宣言:“国家事务不在我们关心的范围之内。我们不希望去解决什么世界性的问题,或去证明什么伟大的道德真理。要是能向美国的男性提供一些额外的欢笑、分散一下对原子时代的焦虑的注意力,我们觉得我们就证明了...
评分本人读了《小狗看世界》中塔勒布和尼德霍夫的部分,为这样的好书竞被翻译所害,感到十分可惜。 译者的文笔是流畅的,这一点不可否认。但其翻译却是错漏百出,漏译部分(是其看不懂原文?)倒也算了,眼不见心为静吧。但其遍地开花式的错译却令人烦恼。要不是有幸看到原著,几为...
评分第一篇 The Pitchman 副题是“Ron Popeil及对美国厨房的征服”。 Ron Popeil的家族企业征服了美国家庭的厨房,他们开发的厨房用具广受欢迎,且新品不断涌现。该企业之所以成功,作者认为,是两种家族特质——Pitchman(姑译为“推销员”)和Tinter(姑译为“小工匠”)—结...
评分格拉德威尔的才华和文笔是无可否认的,但不知道这次中信出版社是否急功近利为了搭异类的畅销快车,连校对翻译都没有就匆忙出版了。 我非常失望,不是对格拉德威尔,而是这本书的翻译,简直是无语了,我觉得找国内字幕组的人员来翻译都要来得精确幽默。
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...
