Title Summary
Moss (general arts and science, Seneca College, Canada) considers how shopping is a leisure activity and examines its environment, the feelings it evokes, and evolution into entertainment. In addition, the history of the department store is detailed, as are characteristics of the mall, e-stores, the psychology of the shopping experience, and how it is a cultural experience. One chapter discusses the idea of shopping as "edu-tainment" and its relationship to the Ralph Lauren brand. Parts of the book were previously published elsewhere or presented at conferences. It is intended for sociologists, cultural theorists, and those interested in popular culture. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
