Description

What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? And what does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century? In this collection of memorable and provocative columns from The New Yorker, the author of Outliers, Blink, and The Tipping Point gives us the saga of the quest to create the perfect cookie, a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in, and the title piece: a profile of "dog whisperer" Cesar Millan, who seems to calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. Here too is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, the dazzling inventions of pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz, and a visit with kitchen gadget king Ron Popeil.
