The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

I love nonfiction books which make me slap my head and go, "Jeez, this guy can write!" The Tipping Point is about social trends, and how introduced small factors can work profound processional effects on outcomes. There are analogs in mathematics, which also apply to human events of all sorts and at all levels, in which even miniscule changes result in immense differences in outcome. An essentially optimistic and entertaining read.
