How Brands Become Icons: The Principles of Cultural Branding Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm no business-head. I find modern consumerism more disturbing than exciting. But I read this book as part of a study on public relations and I must say Holt's passion for the subject is contagious.First of all, his writing style is superb. He alternates nicely between anecdotes, charts and philosophy,...

The South Was Right Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)...Born and bred in upstate NY. I am also civil war buff. This book is extremely important, for the fact of the matter is that MOST of the history that is taught today is WRONG. Not wrong in the general outcomes/ what happened sort of way, but wrong in explaining the TRUE motivations of the involved...
