Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker writer and America’s patron saint of human behavior, punctures our assumptions about winners, losers, and power itself in David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants. Gladwell offers readers a work that is enlightening and entertaining, even if his grand theory wobbles a bit. You can see the Monitor's full review of "David and Golaith" here.
