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? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves:\u003ci\u003e The Tipping Point\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eBlink\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eOutliers.\u003c\/i\u003e Now, in \u003ci\u003eWhat the Dog Saw\u003c\/i\u003e, he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e over the same period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the \"dog whisperer\" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand.
