What the Dog Saw

What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures by Malcolm Gladwell


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures is a wonderful collection of (author: Malcolm Gladwell]'s New Yorker columns spanning more than a decade.  Gladwell tackles an enormous range of topics, each in an engaging and thought provoking way.  It never, for example, would have occurred to me that I might be drawn in to an essay on women's hair dye.  Gladwell, however, uses the topic as a springboard to explore how women's roles in society have shifted over the past half century and the interrelationship between advertising and culture.  Fascinating!
