Hardcover. Etat : New. This absorbing narrative tells how, during the Second World War, an eccentric Dutch inventor and a group of young American airmen developed precision bombing to destroy enemy infrastructure while minimizing civilian casualties. It also reveals how their approach was overruled by Churchill's advisor Frederick Lindemann and RAF supremo Arthur 'Bomber' Harris, in favour of carpet bombing cities to break enemy morale.

Softcover. Etat : Fair. Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Risse; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. Utilizing case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the shooting of Amadou Diallo, Gladwell reveals that what we think of as decisions made in the blink of an eye are much more complicated than assumed. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, he shows how the difference between good decision-making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but on the few particular details on which we focus.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Beschriftungen / Markierungen; Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrucken; Farbveranderung durch Alter/Sonne. Intuition is not some magical property that arises unbidden from the depths of our mind. It is a product of long hours and intelligent design, of meaningful work environments and particular rules and principles. This book shows us how we can hone our instinctive ability to know in an instant, helping us to bring out the best in our thinking and become better decision-makers in our homes, offices and in everyday life. Just as he did with his revolutionary theory of the tipping point, Gladwell reveals how the power of 'blink' could fundamentally transform our relationships, the way we consume, create and communicate, how we run our businesses and even our societies.You'll never think about thinking in the same way again.

Softcover. Etat : Fair. Beschriftungen / Markierungen; Leichte Risse. The Tipping Point is the biography of an idea, and the idea is quite simple: that many of the problems we face - from murder to teenage delinquency to traffic jams - behave like epidemics. They aren't linear phenomena in the sense that they steadily and predictably change according to the level of effort brought to bear against them. They are capable of sudden and dramatic changes in direction. Years of well-intentioned intervention may have no impact at all, yet the right intervention - at just the right time - can start a cascade of change.

For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Risse; Geknickte Ecken. How do we think without thinking, seem to make choices in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem? Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, the author reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Abnutzungen; Gebogener Buchrücken; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. Why do underdogs succeed so much more than they should? How do the weak outsmart the strong? In David and GoliathMalcolm Gladwell takes us on a scintillating and surprising journey to uncover the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty. From the conflict in Northern Ireland and Vietnam, through the tactics of civil rights leaders and the problem of privilege, Gladwell demonstrates how terribly we misunderstand the true meaning of advantage and disadvantage. When is a traumatic childhood a good thing? How can a disability leave someone better off? And do you really want your child to go to the best school he or she can get into? Drawing on the stories of remarkable underdogs, history, science, psychology and his unparalleled ability to make the connections other miss, David and Goliathis a brilliant, illuminating book that overturns conventional thinking, and brings home the incredible leverage of the unexpected.

Softcover. Etat : Fair. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Deformation der Bindung. What is the price of progress? In this tale of innovation and obsession Gladwell revisits one of the bloodiest attacks of the Second World War to show what happens when technological inventions slip out of our control. Weaving together the stories of a group of renegade pilots, the ruthless bomber commander of the US Air Force, a reclusive Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a team of pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard and Winston Churchill's forbidding best friend, The Bomber Mafia invites us to rethink the moral certainties, good intentions and unforeseen consequences that so often accompany shiny new inventions.

There are over 10 million copies of his books in print. §Now, Gladwell's landmark investigations into the world around us are collected together for the first time. Beautifully repackaged and redesigned, with newly added illustrations throughout each book, COLLECTED is a perfect treasury of prose and provocation for Gladwell fans old and new. §.
