Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants
[加拿大] 马尔科姆·格拉德威尔
简介
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. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won.
