Why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Gladwell explores the American “peculiarity”—how the world’s wealthiest country came to suffer from a problem typically only seen in the world’s poorest countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on original interviews, archival and social science research, and his trademark insight, Gladwell approaches the American paradox through a series of stories. What can we learn from the miracle of a young gunshot victim in Washington, D.C.? How have the legal troubles of a seventeenth-century English knight influenced American attempts at gun control? Why would a European police chief be baffled by the graduation ceremony at any American police academy?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a sweeping narrative, Gladwell travels from a shooting range in North Carolina, to the South Side of Chicago, to an old plantation house in Alabama, painting a picture of a country that does not understand its most pressing social problem, and as result, does not understand how to fix it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover | 304 pages | 5.7\" x 8.35\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malcolm Gladwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67534303428840,"sku":"9780316603782x","price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_855dd9ae-65b7-44ee-944d-d240ef2a2fd8.jpg?v=1790362918","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.ca\/products\/9780316603782","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
