The Wabash County Historical Museum is no ordinary county museum. In fact, it has been called the best county museum in the State of Indiana! With two floors of interactive exhibits, an extensive research and archive area, and a spacious meeting room, this museum is one of Wabash Countyâs great treasures.
The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell, helps explain why. Gladwell, a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine, has been studying and writing about the nature of trends for years.
Gladwell defines a tipping point as the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point. The book seeks to explain and describe the mysterious sociological changes that mark everyday life. As Gladwell states, Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do. The examples of such changes in his book include the rise in popularity and sales of Hush Puppies shoes in the mid-1990s and the steep drop in New York City 's crime rate after 1990.
