Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brilliant new work: an incisive investigation into gun violence, America's deadliest and most polarizing crisis. Why, when it comes to lethal violence, is America so different from the rest of the globe? The United States is wealthier, better educated, more technologically sophisticated, more religious than almost any of its peers in the developed world-all of which would suggest that it should also have the lowest levels of violence. Yet the opposite is true. In this bold new book, Malcolm Gladwell outlines the paradox, then walks the reader through a series of stories drawn from every corner of American life and culture from emergency rooms to Hollywood westerns to big-city police departments to Supreme Court oral arguments-looking for answers.

Ny bok av en av vår tids mest inflytelserika tänkare & historieberättareVarför är Miami... Miami? Vad har cheetans tragiska öde att berätta för oss om hur vi uppfostrar våra barn? Varför bryr sig amerikanska Ivy League-skolor så mycket om sport? Vad är den Magiska Tredjedelen, och vad betyder den för harmonin mellan människor med olika hudfärg? I sin nya bok återvänder Malcolm Gladwell till ämnet sociala epidemier och tipping-points, kritiska brytpunkter - denna gång i syfte att förklara den mörkare sidan av smittsamma fenomen. Med en rad fängslande historier spårar Gladwell framväxten av en ny och oroväckande typ av social ingenjörskonst. Han tar oss till Los Angeles gator för att möta världens mest framgångsrika bankrånare, återupptäcker en bortglömd tv-serie från 1970-talet som förändrade världen, och erbjuder en alternativ historieskrivning för två av vår tids största epidemier: Covid och opioidkrisen. Den tändande gnistans revansch är Malcolm Gladwells hittills mest personliga bok. Med sin karakteristiska blandning av historieberättande och sociologi ger han oss en guide till hur vi kan förstå vår samtids olika smittor och visar att det är dags att ta idén om tipping-points på allvar. MALCOLM GLADWELL är en New York Times- och internationellt bästsäljande författare, med böcker som Den tändande gnistan, Blink, Vad hunden såg, David och Goliat och Att prata med främlingar. Han är också medskapare till den inflytelserika bloggen Revisionist History. Den tändande gnistans revansch är hans nya bok, som - 25 år senare - ger ett helt nytt perspektiv på idéer som han först skrev om i sin debutbok Den tändande gnistan [The Tipping Point, 2000].» Gladwell är en lysande historieberättare och skriver med en smittsam nyfikenhet.« Economist

Why in the late 1980s and early ’90s did Los Angeles become the bank robbery capital of the world? What is the magic third and what does it have to do with racial equity? What do big cats and clusters of teen suicide have in common? These are just some of the questions Malcolm Gladwell addresses in this new work, which revisits the phenomenon of epidemics and examines the ways in which we have learned to tinker with and manipulate the spread of ideas, viruses, and trends-sometimes with great success, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Gladwell shows that – whether in neighbourhoods, schools, zoos, or conference rooms-today’s epidemics are no longer singular occurrences, but turbocharged versions of their earlier counterparts. Tipping points, he explains, play a much bigger role in our lives now than ever before. With this provocative and fascinating new book, we can meet them in novel and innovative ways.

Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with "curiosity and humor" in this New York Times bestseller that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light (Shannon Carlin). ​ Why is Miami... Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world's most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell's most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. It's time we took tipping points seriously. Most Anticipated in: AARP Associated Press Time Magazine Oprah Daily Chicago Tribune Literary Hub Publishers Weekly Publishers Lunch

Zhizn nespravedliva. Dengi, vlast, slava i uspekh raspredeljajutsja sredi ljudej krajne neravnomerno. No pochemu odnim vse, a drugim nichego? Pravilno li svodit prichiny uspekha tolko lish k lichnym kachestvam, darovannym prirodoj? Malkolm Gladuell - pervyj, kto obnaruzhil skrytye zakony za tem, chto vsegda kazalos iskljuchitelno volej sluchaja. Eti zakony objasnjajut, pochemu vydajuschiesja khokkeisty rozhdajutsja, kak pravilo, v janvare i prakticheski nikogda - v oktjabre; pochemu aziatskim shkolnikam matematika daetsja legche, chem drugim; pochemu, chtoby stat prestizhnym nju-jorkskim advokatom, nuzhno byt evreem. Kniga pokazyvaet, chto obschego u Billa Gejtsa, "Bitlz" i Motsarta i pochemu im udalos perepljunut sverstnikov. "Genii i autsajdery" - ne posobie "kak stat uspeshnym".

Predstavte sebja na meste sudi, kotoromu nuzhno reshit, otpustit li podozrevaemogo pod zalog. Vam predlagajut libo prosto oznakomitsja s sukhimi faktami biografii podozrevaemogo, libo vstretitsja i pogovorit s nim lichno, posmotret v glaza i uvidet reaktsiju. Mnogie iz nas vyberut vtoroj variant - ved zachastuju my schitaem informatsiju, poluchennuju pri lichnom kontakte, neobyknovenno tsennoj. No imenno v etom, po mneniju Malkolma Gladuella, i kroetsja prichina rokovykh oshibok, lichnykh tragedij, nevernykh sudebnykh reshenij i dazhe katastrof mirovogo masshtaba. Shpionka, kotoraja dolgie gody rabotala v upravlenii Pentagona, peredavaja dannye kubinskoj razvedke. Politiki, ne sumevshie raspoznat dvojnuju igru Gitlera, chto privelo mir k katastrofe. Politsejskie, streljajuschie v nevinnykh ljudej, prosto potomu chto ikh reaktsii kazhutsja im podozritelnymi. Roditeli, kotorye ne mogut raspoznat v sportivnom doktore nasilnika, rastlevajuschego ikh detej. Avtor analiziruet vse eti istorii i prikhodit k shokirujuschim vyvodam. Okazyvaetsja, my ne v sostojanii raspoznat lzhetsa, dazhe kogda obschaemsja s nim na protjazhenii dolgogo vremeni.

Malkolm Gladuell predlagaet nam otpravitsja v intellektualnoe prikljuchenie po temnoj storone chelovecheskoj natury. Vy ubedites, chto nashe predstavlenie o neznakomtsakh pochti vsegda ne sovpadaet s realnostju, a nepravilnoe vosprijatie ikh povedenija mozhet imet katastroficheskie posledstvija.
