Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwellchallenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the best-selling author of The Bomber Mafia.

What a wild ride of a whodunnit in One Of Us Is Lying. “Mauricio Antón is one of the best paleoartists. “The best paleomammal artist working today his knowledge of sabertooths and their evolution is second to none.” -Lars Werdelin, Swedish Museum of Natural History The book is a glorious wedding of science and art that celebrates the remarkable diversity of the life of the not-so-distant past. What did they look like? How did they use their spectacular canine teeth? And why did they finally go extinct? In this visual and intellectual treat of a book, Mauricio Antón tells their story in words and pictures, all scrupulously based on the latest scientific research. Sabertooths continue to pose questions even for specialists. Some were no taller than a domestic cat, others were larger than a lion, and some were as weird as their names suggest. What’s more, there were other sabertooths that were not cats, animals with exotic names like nimravids, barbourofelids, and thylacosmilids. With their spectacularly enlarged canines, sabertooth cats are among the most popular of prehistoric animals, yet it is surprising how little information about them is available for the curious layperson. “A unique review of the many unusual and nearly worldwide occurrences of sabertooths and their relatives over more than 50 million years.” - Choice |
