Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand-new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light.
Why is Miami…Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena

26th
The US Constitution has been amended several times to expand and secure voting rights for different groups of citizens.
•26th Amendment (1971):Lowered the voting age for all US citizens from 21 to 18 years old. This amendment was spurred by the argument that those old enough to be drafted for military service should also be able to vote.
