and tries to determine what exactly contributes to their success. He finds that,
as a culture, we often analyze a person's success based on what that person is 
like. Rather, we should look at contributing factors such as culture, family, 
and the idiosyncratic differences in their upbringing to determine what makes a 
person successful. It is through such an examination that we can gain a better 
understanding of Outliers.</description></item><item><link>http://alpha2.suffolk.lib.ny.us/search~S37/,?b4248542x</link><title> Empire of the summer moon : Quanah Parker and the rise and fall of the </title><description>The story of Quanah Parker, the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.</description></item><item><link>http://alpha2.suffolk.lib.ny.us/search~S37/,?b4247870x</link><title> Medium raw : a bloody valentine to the world of food and the people who </title><description>Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook
