Malcolm Gladwell

Back Bay Books, 2007

James Surowiecki

Anchor, 2005

great stuff!

+ UNique thinking for these turbulent times
+ Why don't quantum physicists let a crowd predict the Higgs' particle mass-energy?

I read this for a MBA class. Out of the stack of books assigned, so far, this is the only one I liked.
