Why do underdogs succeed so much more than we expect? How do the weak outsmart the strong? In David and Goliath Malcolm Gladwell, no.1 bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw, takes us on a scintillating and surprising journey through the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty. From the conflicts in Northern Ireland, through the tactics of civil rights leaders and the problem of privilege, Gladwell demonstrates how we misunderstand the true meaning of advantage and disadvantage. When does a traumatic childhood work in someone's favour? How can a disability leave someone better off? And do you really want your child to go to the best school he or she can get into? David and Goliath draws on the stories of remarkable underdogs, history, science, psychology and on Malcolm Gladwell's unparalleled ability to make the connections others miss. It's a brilliant, illuminating book that overturns conventional thinking about power and advantage.

Get ready to embark upon one of the most adventurous stories told from the viewpoint of a little boy by the name of Aiden. Whisked away in the mind of Aiden, the reader is confronted with some prevailing realities that are embedded within allegoric allusions, but reminiscent of the lives of real people, living real life, every day. The whimsical becomes the powerful voice of the voiceless, and through this genre of writing, gives that voice meaning and purpose. With the use of imaginative characterization and dialogue, the author invites the reader into a world many dare not explore. This short story is just one of many of Dr. Benders' archives of writings that probe at social problems with the purpose of stimulating dialogue to find meaningful solutions. As Founder & CEO of Getting Results, our educational division strives to find solutions that "get real results" for children. Dr. Benders and I developed a curriculum that extends the elements of the "Big Giant Monster" into a full analysis designed to build critical thinking skills for each student reader. As students engage in this book, they will uncover not only their love for reading and the adventures within this short story, but they will also discover their ability to critically think about the deeper issues the author portrays and how they influence race, family, and society. I believe this book will have an impact on students of all ages as teachers and parents use it as a springboard for exploring the issues that can no longer go unanswered. Jerome E.
