Malcolm gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker, has built a thriving career as a populariser of social-science research. His first book explored how trends spread; his second, the effectiveness of snap judgments; and his third, the factors that make people successful. His newest book, 'David and Goliath', is about the benefits of adversity and the hidden hazards of power. A superbly fluid writer, Mr Gladwell once again traffics in anecdote and covers a lot of ground.
