AGAINST THE WIND: Edward Kennedy and the Rise of Conservatism, 1976-2009 by Neal Gabler

From the author of CATCHING THE WIND comes the second volume of the epic, definitive biography of Ted Kennedy—following his political and personal journey as the rise of conservatism and his own missteps threatened to topple the legacy he worked tirelessly to build.

THE VOLTAGE EFFECT: Why Some Ideas Make It Big—and Others Don’t by John List

Why do some good ideas make it big while others fail to take off? One of today's leading behavioral economists argues that it all comes down to a single question: can the idea scale?

Because a better world can only be built at scale.
