          <body><![CDATA[I was tricked! I thought this was a book about physics (with the alluring word &quot;acceleration&quot; in the title), but it turned out to be more social and behavioral science than anything else. I still really enjoyed it though, as James Gleick once again proved his versatility as a writer. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35650589">more...</a>]]></body>
