David and Goliath : underdogs, misfits, and the art of battling giants / Malcolm Gladwell.

Author Gladwell, Malcolm, 1963-

Descriptionix, 305 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm

Abstract:This book uncovers the hidden rules that shape the balance between the weak and the mighty and the powerful and the dispossessed. In it the author challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. He begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy (David and Goliath) those many years ago. -- From book jacket.
