Stroebe and Fennis have produced a remarkable text that is expansive in its coverage of the classic and contemporary advertising literature -- from discussion of thoughtful in-person shopping to online impulse buying. Most impressively, it nicely leverages theoretical insights from social and cognitive psychology to foster deep understanding of the effects and phenomena described, making the core ideas very easy to apply to new situations. It is essential reading for students and professional marketers alike.
