What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures

In What the Dog Saw, you'll find the bittersweet story of the inventor of the birth control pill and the dazzling creations of pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Malcolm Gladwell explores intelligence tests, ethnic profiling, and hindsight bias. Good writing 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 has made Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.

"Clear, provocative, and important."
