Change: How to Make Big Things Happen by Damon Centola
3.0
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in a publisher giveaway.
This book fits neatly in the big-idea genre. The big idea here is compelling and made me think about many potential connections, such as the different styles of discussion in a synchronous vs. asynchronous class discussion (an application of the big idea not addressed in the book).
The book also has the negatives of the big-idea genre. Individual case studies were very superficial, and other potential explanations for outcomes not addressed.
The author’s writing is accessible and engaging. This would be great for undergraduates in Sociology and Political Science.
