Outliersby Malcolm Gladwell
Little, Brown and Company 2008; US$ 9.99In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful.

Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously... more...
