Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005)
In his #1 bestseller The Tipping Point,
Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. In
BLINK, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. How
do we make decisions--good and bad--and why are some people so much
better at it than others? That's the question Malcolm Gladwell asks
and answers in BLINK. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and
psychology, examining case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop
music, and the New Coke, Gladwell shows how the difference between
good decision making and bad has nothing to do with how much
information we can process quickly, but rather with the few
particular details on which we focus. BLINK displays all of the
brilliance that has made Malcolm Gladwell's journalism so popular
and his books such perennial bestsellers as it reveals how all of us
can become better decision makers--in our homes, our offices, and in
everyday life.

Tom Sachs (2006), Edited by
Germano Celant with contributions by Malcolm Gladwell
This comprehensive survey of the work of the
young and influential American sculptor Tom Sachs is the first of
its kind, and long overdue. Sachs appropriates elements from
American popular culture, including fast food, skateboarding and
hip-hop music, and mixes them with overt references to luxury
fashion labels, as well as icons of Modernist art and design. Even
as Sachs's work maintains an overt antagonism toward consumerism and
globalization, it reveals an inherent idealism, championing
transparency of production and homespun craftsmanship. Produced on
the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at the Fondazione Prada,
Milan, this book illustrates the prolific and innovative nature of
Sachs's career, highlighting his fascination with weapons,
conformity, cultural imperialism and craft.
