SynopsisIn this snappy 2nd edition of Marketing to Women, author Martha Barletta tells exactly how and why corporations are spending more to capture the multi-billion-dollar women's market. In this book Barletta reveals how and why women reach different brand purchase decisions than men; the marketing myths about women as consumers and how to tap into the lucrative market of women 50 years and older. Martha Barletta, president of the TrendSight Group, is a recognised authority on gender-focused marketing strategies for wooing women consumers. Her lively style, command of her subject and passion for her topic make her a popular presenter at corporations, conferences and business schools., Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world's great cuisines—from the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the present—in this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in culinary philosophy"—beliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the gods—prompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe. Cuisine and Empire shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan's innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges the agrarian, romantic, and nationalistic myths that underlie the contemporary food movement. , Why do Best Buy stores offer "Personal Assistants?" Why does MinuteClinic operate in Target and Cub Foods stores? Why does Kimpton Hotels tie in with the national Dress for Success cause?
