520 ## $a What is the difference beween choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of musard but only one variety of ketchup? Wha do football players teach us abou how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the twentieth 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 the New Yorker over the same period. Here you'll find the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazling creations of pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moskowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotiserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Milan, the "dog whisperer," who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores inelligence tests and ethnic profiling and why it is that employers 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 srength 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.
