Memory is one of the few psychological concepts with a truly ancient lineage. Presenting a history of the interrelated changes in memory tasks, memory technology and ideas about memory from antiquity to the late twentieth century, this book confronts psychology’s ’short present’ with its ’long past’. Kurt Danziger, one of the most influential historians of psychology of recent times, traces long-term continuities from ancient mnemonics and tools of inscription to modern memory experiments and computer storage.

What motivates consumers to buy? Is it pleasure? Education? Entertainment? Status? Or just an impulse? Knowing why consumers buy what they do is the secret to predicting how they will behave in the ever-changing marketplace. In most cases, much of what people buy are items they really don t need. Focusing on the "whys" of spending, Danziger has meticulously profiled customers in more than 30 categories of discretionary spending through research based on surveys, interviews, and focus groups from a variety of people who make discretionary purchases. She provides readers with a vision of the fut

The recent history of shopping has been defined by decade-long periods of dynamic change. The ’80s were the decade of the mall, with the explosion of malls being built, resulting in shoppers flocking to these new centers of retail. The ’90s were the decade of the discounters, as Wal-Mart rolled out their discount shopping experience from their base in the heartland to both coasts and many other discounters, Target and Kohl’s among them, following suit. The first decade of the new millennium is the decade of luxury, with retailers offering an expanded range of traditional heritage brand l
