Honors Reading Post 1

Entry 1: The Author's Credibility and Background.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote 4 books, The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and What the Dog Saw; And Other Adventures, all 4 being a New York Times Bestseller.

Malcolm was born in England, moved to Canada, and finally resided in the US where he worked for many journalism companies before working for the New York Times. His work on two articles gave him the basis for the book "The Tipping Point". I think that the author thus has the experience to have written such a book. If there is any bias in it (which I have not discovered) Then it might only show up near the end of the book.
